Xi Lin, Ph.D.

Dr. Lin's research focuses on the pathology and mechanisms of osteoarthritis. She is interested in how changes in the synovial tissues surrounding the joint modulate osteoarthritis pathology post-injury or during natural aging. She has expertise in genetic and surgical murine models of osteoarthritis, in vivo imaging techniques, in vivo and in vitro cellular and molecular biology techniques, and histology/immunohistochemistry/immunocytology. She also utilizes bioinformatics analysis as a tool to generate novel hypotheses and validate experimental findings by analyzing independent published datasets.
