Welcome to the Ortved Lab

The Ortved Laboratory at New Bolton Center is focused on understanding the pathophysiology of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) and developing gene and cell-based therapies to help regenerate cartilage and prevent the development of PTOA following joint injury.

Due to the many similarities in joint biomechanics and propensity for PTOA, our lab uses the horse as a large animal model for human joint disease. Our goal is to develop translational regenerative therapies that would benefit both the equine and human patient.
