Currently investigating the efficacy of the treatment options for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This includes both brace treatment and surgical treatment with multisegmental pedicle screw fixation. Beyond that I am also working on a genetic study on AIS families.

In addition to the above mentioned primary area of research I am also involved with studies on intervertebral disc degeneration and the possible etiology of bacterial infections.
