Martha Gray is a researcher whose work focuses on the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to assess articular cartilage and its degradation. Her research includes the use of Gd-DTPA 2− and delayed Gd(DTPA) 2– enhanced MRI (dGEMRIC) to evaluate cartilage health and early osteoarthritis. She also investigates the role of glycosaminoglycans in cartilage and their in vivo assessment using MRI. Additionally, her work explores the mechanical and physicochemical factors influencing chondrocyte biosynthesis and the development of advanced tools for tissue engineering, such as scaffolds and bioreactors. Gray's research also extends to microfabrication-based technologies for dynamic array cytometry and signal transduction mechanisms in response to mechanical stimuli.
