University of California, San Francisco

Dr. Kelsey Collins is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Anatomy at University of California San Francisco, USA. Her lab is focused on defining novel mechanisms of interorgan crosstalk using osteoarthritis, obesity, aging, and knee pain as model systems in mice, cell models, and human tissues. Her group leverages these insights to unravel the role of adipose tissue in osteoarthritis and develop novel therapeutic approaches that utilize adipocyte promoters, such as leptin, to drive engineered cell therapies.
