Dr. Pennicooke\u2019s paper, \u201cAnnular Repair Using High-density Collagen Gel with Riboflavin Crosslinkage: Preliminary results in an in vivo ovine model\u201d is based on research conducted in collaboration between the laboratories of Dr. Roger H\u00e4rtl, Chief of Spine Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, and Dr. Lawrence Bonassar, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University in Ithaca. Other co-authors on this paper include Stephen Sloan and Brandon Borde, both PhD students in Biomedical Engineering in Dr. Bonassar\u2019s Laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Pennicooke\u2019s paper describes the use of injectable collagen gels that can be photocrosslinked in situ to repair intervertebral disc herniations. An estimated 10 million people in the United States suffer from herniated discs, and ongoing research in this collaborative project is directed at finding new ways to treat them. The primary surgical treatment today is removal of the herniated material with no attempt to repair the ruptured disc. Previous work by the Bonassar and H\u00e4rtl laboratories has shown that photocrosslinked collagen gels can repair ruptured discs in rodents. The current work demonstrates the utility of this approach in larger animals, with the goal of translating this into the treatment of human disc disease.<\/p>\n<p>This line of research has produced multiple awards in the past, including:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/weillcornellbrainandspine.org\/in-the-news\/collagen-gel-study-wins-2014-apfelbaum-award\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 Apfelbaum Award<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/weillcornellbrainandspine.org\/in-the-news\/spine-fellow-yu-moriguchi-wins-aospine-research-presentation-award\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AOSpine Research Presentation Award<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/weillcornellbrainandspine.org\/in-the-news\/dr-grunert-wins-2014-ors-new-investigator-recognition-award\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 ORS New Investigator Award<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/weillcornellbrainandspine.org\/in-the-news\/dr-hartl%E2%80%99s-team-wins-ao-foundation-start-grant-spine-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AO Foundation Start-up Grant<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/weillcornellbrainandspine.org\/in-the-news\/dr-grunert-takes-first-place-basic-science-mins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best basic science abstract and presentation at MINS 2013<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2313\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/pennicooke-brenton-2012-l_0.jpg\" alt=\" Dr. Pennicooke\" width=\"200\" height=\"248\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourth-year Neurological Surgery resident Brenton Pennicooke has won this year\u2019s award for Best Oral Presentation at the 2016 World Forum for Spine Research in Dubai.
