Peter C. Amadio, M.D., is a hand and orthopedic surgeon who also researches the role of fibrosis in human health and disease.
Dr. Amadio is principal investigator of the Tendon and Soft Tissue Biology Laboratory, where he studies the causes and prevention of fibrosis in two types of tissues. One type is flexor tendons, which are prone to degenerative tendinopathy and impaired function related to post-traumatic fibrosis. The other is the synovium within the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This tendon is prone to fibrosis, which leads to carpal tunnel syndrome, the most common reason for hand surgery.
For more details about Dr. Amadio's research, visit his Tendon and Soft Tissue Biology Laboratory website.
Treatments to improve rehabilitation and the strength of tendon repair that were developed in Dr. Amadio's lab have already changed the clinical practice of tendon surgery. The next goal is to translate successful in vivo animal results into a product that can be used clinically. The carpal tunnel syndrome model developed in Dr. Amadio's lab has allowed his team to identify novel antifibrotic therapies and biomarkers that can be used to guide treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.
