Peter C.AmadioM.D.Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN
The research program of Peter C. Amadio, M.D., focuses on the role of fibrosis in human health and disease. Dr. Amadio's current research in his Tendon and Soft Tissue Biology Laboratory addresses the causes and prevention of fibrosis in two tissues: flexor tendons, where post-traumatic fibrosis impairs tendon function, and degenerative tendinopathy is also common; and the synovium within the carpal tunnel, where fibrosis leads to the most common hand surgery condition, carpal tunnel syndrome.
