Congrats to Dr. Mark Kim for ORS Bethel Fellowship!
Dr. Mark Kim was awarded the ORS Bethel Fellowship at ORS 2026 for his project Uncoupling the Disc-Macrophage Crosstalk in Aging and Degeneration of the Intervertebral Disc.
Hi.
Welcome to the Chahine Lab!
We are interested in developing new therapies for cartilaginous tissues in the musculoskeletal system. Our focus is on spinal intervertebral discs, where we apply tools of bioengineering and biomechanics to understand degeneration and to develop regenerative strategies. We are also developing diagnostics biomarkers for back pain, the leading cause of disability worldwide.
