2010-2011 Report including the Orthopaedic Bioengineering Research Laboratory Preface It is my pleasure to present our 2010-2011 report been possible without a number of our donors from the Orthopaedic Research Center and the stepping up to provide supplemental funding. Orthopaedic Bioengineering Research Laboratory I’m particularly grateful to Mr. Jim Kennedy for at Colorado State University. Our principal focus providing supplemental operating funds and continues to be solving the significant problems in continuing the legacy of his mother, Barbara Cox equine musculoskeletal disease as can be seen in this Anthony. I’m also grateful to Abigail Kawananakoa report but we also continue to investigate questions for continued support over and above the Endowed relevant to human joint disease and techniques Chair she donated three years ago; and Herbert Allen and devices for human osteoarthritis and articular for continuing to provide considerable support for cartilage repair when the technique can also benefit investigation of cutting edge therapies. the horse. There have been a number of notable projects in this regard. The studies, led by Dr. Dave We have added an Equine Sports Medicine Frisbie at the ORC in partnership with Dr. Alan Ambulatory clinical arm to the Orthopaedic Research Grodzinsky at MIT on an NIH Program Grant in Center and also initiated two residencies in Sports cartilage repair, have been completed and results Medicine and Rehabilitation. This follows on from are still be analyzed. We have three other ongoing the accreditation of a new specialty college, the NIH grants in partnership with collaborators. One is American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and with Dr. Connie Chu at the University of Pittsburgh Rehabilitation. Drs. Haussler, Frisbie and Kawcak, as looking at stem cells in fibrin/PRP and articular well as myself, are Foundation Diplomates and felt cartilage repair (Dr. Laurie Goodrich is the PI on the we had the appropriate ability and responsibility to sub-contract at CSU and other collaborators include train residents in this new specialty. Dr. Dora Ferris Dr. Lisa Fortier of Cornell University and Dr. Bob Sah is in her second year and Dr. Erin Contino is in her of the University of California, San Diego). This was a first year. I would like to extend special thanks to 12-month study that has been completed and results Gail Holmes for providing funding for the three year are still being analyzed with the other collaborators. program for Erin Contino. The work with Dr. Jude Samulski at the University of North Carolina on Dr. Laurie Goodrich’s NIH KO8 Accomplishments at the ORC over the past two grant on gene therapy (co-mentored by Drs. Samulski years are detailed in this report. Validation and and McIlwraith) is progressing well and we have clarification of the benefits of mesenchymal stem some exciting results with regard to long term protein therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), as well as production with the AAV vector. The third NIH grant autologous conditioned serum (IRAP II) are all is with Dr. Steve Trippel at the University of Indiana in this report. These accomplishments could not in which Drs. Frisbie and McIlwraith are co-PIs on a be achieved without our team of faculty and staff sub-contract of an NIH grant involving gene therapy as well as the excellent support of equine funding and articular cartilage repair and the equine study agencies (Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, will commence in the summer of 2012. American Quarter Horse Association, and United States Equestrian Federation), corporate funding, There have been some significant publications and individual donors. With this help we continue from the horse-human collaborative projects in to achieve our goals and also make new ones as new leading journals in the last two years. At the same clinical questions arise. time, many projects addressing equine specific problems have been completed and published and Best wishes, all of this is detailed in this report. We handled the challenges created by the economic recession well in the 2010-2011 period.
