He graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2020 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in biomedical engineering. Anthony\u2019s current research examines local tendon cell behavior and aims to identify the cellular mechanisms of matrix remodeling important to tendon repair. Specifically, he studies the ability of the tenocyte to clear matrix damage, synthesize and incorporate neo-matrix, and functionalize the neo-matrix in response to localized matrix damage induced by laser ablation. The goal of his work is to shed light on important innate matrix remodeling mechanisms that can be leveraged for more effective treatments of degenerative matrix changes brought about by injury, disease, or aging.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Location: <strong>Room 220 in Sargent College, 635 Commonwealth Avenue<br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration:
