Biography

Amy Lynn McNulty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. Her research primarily focuses on developing strategies to prevent osteoarthritis and promote tissue repair and regeneration following joint injury. McNulty's lab aims to understand the mechanotransduction pathways activated by both normal and injurious mechanical loading of cartilage and meniscus, with an emphasis on how these pathways are altered by aging and injury. She is also engaged in the development of tissue-engineered constructs for repairing meniscus tissue lost due to injury and surgical resection. McNulty's work includes investigating the biological and biomechanical changes that occur in the joint following meniscus injury, contributing to the understanding of osteoarthritis development.
