What do you attribute your success to?
Motivation and hard work. I am currently involved in a prospective study to improve the delivery of stem cells and platelets for transplantation in cartilage degeneration of the knee. Prior, I was involved in a retrospective study on knee prosthesis. I have also helped launch two basic science projects to study endothelial degeneration due to toxic drugs such as chemotherapy, immunosuppression and chinese herbal drugs in the context of terminal kidney disease and transplantation. I would like to continue on this thread of research based medical practice to bring the best quality care to my patients.
