Research Overview

 
  1. Pedagogic research: Blended master’s course design and evaluation of factors that enhance the blended learning experience of  a diverse group of health professionals in an anatomical context(accepted for conference journal publication)
  2. Student's perception and experience of a new knowledge-swap method of teaching and learning in medical education. An adaptation of a Swedish method to increase learning efficiency and without increasing the student workload (Accepted for conference journal publication)
  3. Does anatomy dissection-based courses enhance learning efficiency and student performance in anatomy?
  4. Human Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and cartilage repair in Osteoarthritis. Particularly interested to identify biomarker predictive of cartilage forming potency using genomic and proteomic approaches. (project completed, manucsript in prep)
