Education:

Is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and current M.D. candidate (2011) at the University of Pennsylvania, planning to pursue a career in plastic surgery. His current project involves the in vivo use of biodegradable constructs seeded with various stem cell populations to support bone regeneration. Other research interests include in vivo bioluminescence imaging and evaluation of umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells for use in bone tissue engineering.

He is happy to answer any questions and may be contacted at dhindin@mail.med.upenn.edu
