Pieter Brama is a Full Professor of Veterinary Surgery and Head of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at University College Dublin's School of Veterinary Medicine. He received his DVM (cum laude) from Utrecht University in 1994, became a Dutch Specialist in Equine Surgery (1998), earned his PhD (cum laude) from Utrecht University in 1999, and completed an MBA (1st Class Honours) at UCD in 2011. Board-certified in the European College of Veterinary Surgeons (DECVS) since 2000, he leads research in veterinary orthopedics and regenerative medicine.
- Veterinary Surgery
- Cartilage Repair Mechanisms
- Biomaterial Development
- Joint Inflammation Models
- Stem Cell Therapy Applications
His research portfolio includes 15 recent publications focusing on collagen scaffolds, extracellular matrix engineering, stem cell applications, and osteochondral defect repair. These studies employ large animal models (goats, horses) to develop clinical solutions for cartilage regeneration and joint disease management through biomimetic approaches.
Key collaborations include: AMBER Spoke SFI grants, European Cells & Materials journal research, and interdisciplinary work with the Tissue & Cell Engineering Society. His laboratory investigates translational models for osteochondral repair using 3D-printed fixation devices, growth factor adsorption techniques, and immunocompetent xenogeneic models.
