My research area focuses around chronic joint injury especially at the ankle. I am particularly interested in ligament healing post ankle sprain, and mechanical instability in those with chronic ankle instability. I am also focused on examining the effect long term ankle injury has on local and global changes as patient’s age. Additionally I examine knee osteoarthritis and the impact of physical activity.

Dr Aitken completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa, Canada in 2006. In 2007 she completed a Bachelor of Biotechnology with First Class Honours in Population Health Stream at the Menzies Research Institute Tasmania. Dr Aitken recently completed her PhD which examined the role of subchondral bone in osteoarthritis.

Dr Aitken\'s research in osteoarthritis focuses on identifying risk factors for disease onset and progression. Dr Aitken is interested in knee structural abnormalities, including bone marrow lesions, meniscal pathology and cartilage damage, as well as lifestyle and environmental influences including physical activity, obesity, vitamin D and diet. Her research aims to gain a better understanding of the disease process in order to develop more effective and safe treatments and preventative strategies for osteoarthritis.

Dr. David T. Denhardt, born in California and educated on both coasts, has held the rank of Professor II in the Division of Life Sciences since 1988, when he was recruited to the position of Chair of Biological Sciences, Rutgers University.He held that position until 1995 when the Department of Biological Sciences was reorganized into several smaller departments, one of which was Cell Biology and Neuroscience, which is his present home department.During this period he also served as Director of the Graduate Program in Cell and Developmental Biology and of the Bureau of Biological Research.He is presently a member of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials. Dr. Denhardt graduated from Swarthmore College with High Honors in Chemistry (1960).His graduate degree was in Biophysics from the California Institute of Technology (1965).

His research interests currently focus on the systems physiology of OPN and TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1). Both in different ways stimulate tumor cell metastasis and he would like to know why. With respect to OPN, he would like to understand how it functions in such apparently diverse processes as bone remodeling and autoimmune disease.
