ITMO PhD student Hadi Alhaj is uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind this transformation โ and hoping to help shape the future of regenerative medicine.

In simpler terms, Iโm studying how these cells turn into bone-forming cells. Understanding these mechanisms could make a real difference in regenerative medicine and lead to more effective therapy for bone-related diseases.
