Prem Kumar Govindappa
Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
Member of the Graduate Faculty
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson, USA. As a self-motivated and accomplished veterinary research scientist, I have comprehensive experience in in-vivo orthopaedic surgical models and in-vitro cellular and exosomal techniques to understand the pathophysiological complexities of neural, skeletal, skin, and intestinal injuries. My research focuses on repurposing FDA-approved 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and erythropoietin (EPO) drugs to treat orthopedic trauma conditions, and also these findings are advanced into clinical trials.
