Current Lab Members

Dr. Feng is a postdoctoral research scientist at the Regenerative Engineering Lab. He earned an MD in orthopedic surgery from Xi’an Jiaotong University. Specializing in arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, he focuses on knee, shoulder, hip, and elbow diseases and emphasizes rapid rehabilitation for young and active patients. He is also fascinated by the state-of-the-art biomedical and bioengineering research in the meniscus, cartilage, and tendon repair. He received basic science research training at the Warren Albert Medical School of Brown University before joining CUMC. His extensive experience includes work on the differentiation of cartilage-derived mesenchymal stem cells. As a healthcare provider, Dr. Feng believes in not only celebrating surgical successes but also critically analyzing failures. He aims to develop both non-surgical and salvage surgical solutions for patients with complex joint issues and in cases where other surgeries have failed. Dr. Feng's clinical research is primarily centered on rotator cuff injuries, meniscus repair, cartilage restoration, and knee joint preservation. In the realm of biomedical research, his interests include the development of bioactive layer-by-layer scaffolds for controlled growth factor delivery in rotator cuff healing, and exploring how orthobiologic and mechanical stimuli can promote meniscal healing and attenuate the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
