The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons announced Alayna E. Loiselle, PhD, as the recipient of the 2022 Kappa Delta Young Investigator Award, according to a press release.
The award is given to researchers younger than 40 years of age. Loiselle, an associate professor in the departments of orthopedics and rehabilitation, biomedical engineering and pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center, was recognized for her research on tendon cell biology. She started the Loiselle Lab for Tendon Therapeutics in the Center for Musculoskeletal Research at University of Rochester Medical Center in 2015.
“One area of focus in my lab has been to study the fundamentals, such as the cell composition of the tendon at baseline, as well as how it changes under different conditions, such as injury,” Loiselle said in the release. “Once we understand the composition and structure of the cell environment, as well as how it changes in different contexts, then we can begin to make more informed, thoughtful decisions to test different therapies to improve the healing process.”
Other investigations at the lab have focused on the role of cells in tendon healing and the effect of type 2 diabetes in tendon healing, according to the release.
