INVESTIGATION

Our hospital is distinguished for our investigative activity in the following fields:

  • Stem Cells studies.Between 2007 and 2012 the ESTEM project has been developing and has led to published articles featuring both human and veterinary papers in leading International media (see link to the article in the 2013 Orthopaedic Research Journal). Together with Dr. Roger Smith, from the Royal Veterinary College, and his team, our investigation group presented our findings in both North America and Europe.   In 2013 the ESTEM II project continued this theme by investigating the improvement of the retention of stem cells after intralesional implantation.
  • We are presently under subcontract by similar Investigation and Pharmaceutical Groups to further develop their I+D.
