Dr. Thomas Ambrosi

Biography

Thomas H. Ambrosi, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on skeletal stem cells and their role in bone health and disease, particularly aging and malignancies. He employs a variety of cutting-edge techniques, including single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing skeletal stem cell biology. With a background in engineering and bioengineering, Ambrosi obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Potsdam in Germany, where he contributed significantly to understanding the origins and functions of bone marrow adipose tissue. After his Ph.D., he pursued postdoctoral training at Stanford University, focusing on aging-related changes in skeletal stem cells and their therapeutic implications. Ambrosi's work aims to translate discoveries from the lab into innovative therapies for conditions such as osteoporosis and osteosarcoma. He is actively involved in fostering diversity in science and creating an inclusive environment for underrepresented groups in research.
