What sparked your interest in nano-biotechnology in orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation?
I believe nowadays novelty happens on the conjunction of scientific fields.

I can use my mechanic background and my biology knowledge being earned during my Ph.D. program to make innovations in combination of these two areas.
