Research Interests

Dr. Dingle is an accomplished scientist in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. His research focuses on restoring form and function through tissue preservation, regeneration, and replacement, with emphasis on nerve, muscle, and bone. The Dingle Lab has broad interests in reconstructive surgery and the biological mechanisms of disease and regeneration, including the impacts of ischemia–reperfusion injury on tissue survival and repair. Through this work, Dr. Dingle aims to deliver innovative therapies that enhance recovery and improve quality of life for patients with complex injuries.
