The main fields of interest are highlighted in the projects below, which started on the dates mentioned:

• 2008 - Tendon healing and adhesion
• 2009 - 3D-motion analysis of the hand and wrist
• 2014 - Tissue engineering of skin and production of cultivated keratinocytes (Skin Engineering Platform)
• 2015 - Applications of adipose derived stromal vascular fraction for the treatment of different hand conditions (finger contractures in systemic sclerosis, osteoarthritis, nerve scarring)

Throughout my scientific career I worked on various projects and gained experience in different animal models for peripheral nerve regeneration studies, tendon surgery and neuro-anatomy. I have extensive experience in hand and plastic surgery (skin, bone, joint, muscle, nerves, tendons, prostheses) as well as microsurgery.
