Dr. Luu is interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms regulating bone biology and bone regeneration. Dr. Luu is interested in using advances in gene therapy to study applications of bone biology in fracture care, osteolysis in total joint replacement patients, and bone regeneration. He is also interested in investigating genes that control cancer metastasis with the ultimate goals of identifying new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in treating patients with bone cancers and other cancers that have the potential to spread to other sites of disease.
