Orthopedic Pitt Research
His team currently has more than 100 studies completed or is being done to evaluate the benefits of an anatomical approach by looking at the knee as an organ. He also has ongoing collaborations with K. Christopher Beard, Ph.D., a vertebrate paleontologist, and other curators at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and a veterinarian at the Pittsburgh Zoo. In addition, Fu worked with C. Owen Lovejoy, Ph.D., an anthropologist at Kent State University, who reconstructed the skeleton of "Lucy", a nearly complete fossil of human ancestors who walked upright more than three million years ago. Such collaborations allow detailed study of the evolution and anatomy of soft tissue and knee bone.
