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.
Research Interest
I am an academic veterinary research scientist. My area of specialization is in multidisciplinary translational and regenerative medicine, with a focus on studying the repurposing effect of the USFDA-approved 4-aminopyridine and Erythropoietin in trauma conditions of peripheral nerve, skeletal muscle, skin, bone, and intestines.
