UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Dr. Mankani's  goal is  to establish an interdisciplinary program to treat patients' bone abnormalities with cell-based therapies and to establish an active research program exploring the role of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in bone formation and remodeling, focusing on ways to enhance normal bone formation in patients with osteoporosis.

Dr. Mankani has focused his research in two areas:

  1. developing techniques to engraft BMSCs and engineer bone
  2. describing the role of BMSCs in bone formation and repair
