He obtained his doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering at Duke University in 2015. Dr. Wu then completed his post-doctoral training with Dr. Farshid Guilak in Orthopedic Surgery Department at Washington University in Saint Louis in 2020.ResearchDr. Wu’s research focuses on identifying the molecular mechanisms by which genetic and epigenetic regulators modulate development, homeostasis and disease progression of musculoskeletal tissues, with a particular focus on cartilage and bone. His approach utilizes bioengineering, cellular biology, next-generation sequencing techniques and genome editing tools, complemented by animal and biomechanical models to uncover these fundamental principles. The long-term goal of his research program is to apply this knowledge to improve tissue engineering outcomes, regeneration and repair for musculoskeletal disorders.Awards2020ON Foundation AwardSponsor: Orthoregeneration Network Foundation2019NIH NIAMS K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award – 1K99AR075899Sponsor: National Institutes of Health2018The New Investigator Recognition Awards (NIRA), Post-doctoral research associateSponsor: Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS)2014The New Investigator Recognition Awards (NIRA), Graduate studentSponsor: Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS)2012Taiwan Government Student Studying Aboard Scholarship (2-year funding)Sponsor: Taiwan GovernmentVIEW ALL expand_morePublicationsJournal Articles3/7/2022Kenney HM, Wu CL, Loiselle AE, Xing L, Ritchlin CT, Schwarz EM.
