We are pleased to announce that Stylianos (Stelios) Karoulias, PhD, has joined the Hubmacher lab as a Postdoctoral Fellow! He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) where he developed a novel biomaterial consisting of osteogenic and chondrogenic protein domains for therapeutic applications in bone fracture healing. He will join the Hubmacher lab to work on the identification of biological substrates for the extracellular matrix protease ADAMTS17. Welcome Stelios!
“Nature is nowhere accustomed more openly to display her secret mysteries than in cases where she shows traces of her workings apart from the beaten path; nor is there any better way to advance the proper practice of medicine than to give our minds to the discovery of the usual law of nature by the careful investigation of cases of rarer forms of disease. For it has been found in almost all things, that what they contain of useful or of applicable nature, is hardly perceived unless we are deprived of them, or they become deranged in some way.”
-William Harvey (Physician-Scientist), 1578-1657
