Ana Chee is an Assistant Professor at Rush University, affiliated with Rush Medical College's Department of Orthopedic Surgery. Her research focuses on spinal biology, inflammation, and musculoskeletal disorders, with a particular emphasis on intervertebral disc degeneration and microbiome associations. She investigates therapeutic strategies using biomaterials, cell therapy, and molecular inhibitors to address spinal pathologies.
Her work spans translational and clinical research, including studies on blood biomarkers for spinal conditions, microbiome dysbiosis in degenerative spondylolisthesis, and anti-inflammatory agents targeting chemokine receptors. She collaborates with co-authors like Dino Samartzis and Chundo Oh on projects involving spinal imaging, regenerative medicine, and preclinical models.
Recent publications highlight trends in microbiome research, biomarker discovery, and drug delivery systems for disc repair. Her studies often utilize rabbit and in vitro models to evaluate treatments for disc inflammation and degeneration.
