Biography

Lynne C. Jones is a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Johns Hopkins University. Her research includes the study of adult osteonecrosis and osteoarthritis, focusing on bone grafting and cell-based therapy while assessing factors that influence the long-term outcomes of total joint replacements. Collaborating with orthopaedic surgeons, residents, and fellows, Dr. Jones investigates the role of bone marrow cells in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis and leads efforts on evaluating cell-based therapies for this condition. Her outcomes-based studies also analyze the impact of biomaterials and surgical techniques on patient-related factors. Dr. Jones holds a B.S. in Biology from Ursinus College, an M.S. in Biology from Towson State University, and a Ph.D. in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology from Johns Hopkins University. She has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, contributed to 16 chapters, and edited 2 books along with 2 dedicated journal issues. Dr. Jones has held prominent leadership roles including Past President of the Society for Biomaterials and current President of ARCO International, a society committed to the study of bone circulation diseases. Furthermore, she is a Fellow of both the International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science & Engineering and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. In recognition of her contributions, she received the Society for Biomaterials Award for Service in 2015.
