Brief Intro

Dr. Richard J. McMurtrey, MD, MSc is an accomplished physician, surgeon, scientist, and engineer, with clinical expertise in complex minimally-invasive surgical procedures in orthopedics & neurosurgery combined with a focus on regenerative medicine. He holds degrees with highest honors in medicine and surgery, biomedical engineering, and neuroscience. Dr. McMurtrey has led new advancements in minimally-invasive interventions for sports medicine, critical care medicine, and orthopedic surgery, as well as complex spine, brain, nerve, & pain conditions with state-of-the-art diagnostics and cutting-edge image-guided procedures for optimized injury recovery and regenerative repair of many types of pathologies and disorders. This is complemented by his high-impact research in tissue engineering, stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, biomaterials, and the synthesis of biochemical cell signaling cues with minimally invasive tissue repair mechanisms and interventions. Dr. McMurtrey was distinguished as one of the top innovators for his work at the University of Oxford (including the Oxford Institute of Biomedical Engineering, the Department of Engineering Science, and the Oxbridge Biotech Roundtable), where he pioneered new tissue engineering techniques for growing mini-organs, elucidated stem cell signaling pathways, and won top awards for his innovative design of novel biomedical devices.
