听 听 听 听 听听Prof. Lisbet Haglund Ph.D.

Prof. Lisbet Haglund is a professor in the department of Surgery, division of Orthopaedics at McGill. She leads an internationally recognized team focused on translational interdisciplinary research on spine biology, biomechanics and pain. The team has designed and fabricated custom bioreactors for intact intervertebral disc (IVD) culture that simulate long term in vivo loading. The developed techniques are used to study IVD degeneration and associated pain, and to develop novel approaches for treatment. Together these resources place our team in a unique position to evaluate potential therapeutics to retard IVD degeneration and promote regeneration and repair. More recently the program has been extended to also cover tissue engineering of bone, cartilage and IVD tissue. Here we use hydrogels for intervertebral disc repair and 3D printing of FDA approved materials to repair damaged bone and cartilaginous tissues.
