Mark Hurtig

Professor Mark Hurtig is the director of the Canadian Arthritis Network Strategic Research Resource Laboratory at the University of Guelph in Canada.

While working as a large animal surgeon, he developed a career interest in comparative aspects of joint injuries and sports medicine that led to work in cell & molecular biology, biomechanics, biochemistry, and imaging. This led to the establishment of his current laboratory where his time is split between working with investigators and graduate students from industrial and academic collaborations. He is lead investigator for two human knee injury research studies centered in Toronto (www.proknee.ca), funded by CIHR and by the Canadian Arthritis Network.  The main focus of his laboratory is to provide access to animal models and by maintaining a strong relationship with clinician-scientists, accelerate the arrival of new therapies in the clinical environment. His laboratory has been a center for preclinical development of cartilage repair and arthritis therapies.
