Short Curriculum Vitae summary
As National Director of Research, I facilitate interactions between scientists of different research disciplines.  This has resulted in
basic researchers coming into the field and a better overall further understanding of the etiology of Multiple Hereditary
Exostoses/Mutiple Osteochondroma and the future promise of the discovery of a cure. As a result of these and other efforts the
Foundation has been a driving force in developing a growing network of MHE researchers and clinicians. Our foundation
established working partnerships many major Universities & Societies around the world.

A few examples:
  • Yu Yamaguchi, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Sanford Children's Health Research Center, Burnham Institute for Medical Research,
    La Jolla, CA
  • Maurizio Pacifici, Ph.D., Director of Orthopaedic Research, Anthony F. and Gertrude M. De Palma Professor of Orthopaedic
    Research, Thomas Jefferson University  College of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA
  • Jeffrey D. Esko, Ph.D., Professor, Dept. of Cellular Molecular Medicine, Co-Director, Glycobiology Research & Training
    Center, UCSD, San Diego CA
  • Henry H. Roehl, Ph.D., Professor Dept of Biomedical Science, MRC Centre for Developmental and Biomedical Genetics, The
    University of  Sheffield, UK
  • John P. Dormans, M.D., Chief Orthopaedic Surgery The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Professor of Orthopaedic
    Surgery University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine

the University of Antwerp, under
Wim Wuyts, Ph.D. and the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, Bologna, Italy under Luca Sangiorgi, M.
D., Ph.D., I assist these laboratories and other researchers within EuroBoNet in obtaining the Human subjects approvals
required with U.S. Hospitals for the collection of samples of exostoses, and other reagents sent to EuroBoNet researchers,
these are currently being studied in several laboratories and have resulted in a number of Journal publications. I also work
directly with United Sates Orthopaedic physicians in preparation of Orthopeadic clinical researcher studies.

Coordinator of Clinical Information, I work directly with Orthopaedic physicians around the world in the development of the clinic
information MHE Patients require.
