Dr. Ambrosi studied Medical Biotechnology at the Technical University Berlin while also earning a MSc in Bioengineering from Dongseo University in Busan, South Korea. He received his PhD in 2017 from the University of Potsdam in Germany elucidating the cellular and developmental origin of bone marrow adipose tissue as well as its implication for regenerative processes in the laboratory of Dr. Tim Schulz at the German Institute for Human Nutrition. Supported by a 2-year scholarship from the German Research Foundation, he conducted his postdoctoral work in the lab of Dr. Charles Chan at Stanford University co-mentored by Drs. Michael Longaker and Irv Weissman. There he developed a research program focusing on skeletal stem cell (SSC) biology in diverse contexts.
Dr. Ambrosi started his lab in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UC Davis in January of 2023. His transition has been supported by an NIH/NIA K99/R00 Early Investigator Award. His lab's broad focus on SSC biology covers developmental bone biology, aging processes and various types of diseases, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and osteosarcoma.
