Christopher Nagelli, PhD

Assistant Professor at Mayo Clinic

Dr. Nagelli received his doctorate from The Ohio State University in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on Biomechanics. His PhD research involved understanding the effects of injury prevention training on high-risk biomechanics among anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed athletes. After his PhD, Dr. Nagelli joined the Musculoskeletal Gene Therapy Laboratory at Mayo Clinic as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work with Dr. Chris Evans on a project focused on Gene Therapy for Articular Cartilage Repair. Since completing his Postdoctoral Training, Dr. Nagelli is an Assistant Professor at Mayo Clinic, and his current research focuses on understanding the mechanobiological basis of articular cartilage injury and regeneration. He has received funding from the NIH T32 Musculoskeletal Training grant, the American Academy of Orthopedic Sports Medicine, the Rochester Epidemiology Project, the Reinig Immunotherapy of Arthritis Treatment Award, and the Alliance of Regenerative Rehabilitation Research and Training.
