Profile of Prof Allen Goodship

Qualified: University of Bristol (1972). Institution/Practice: Professor of Orthopaedic Science at UCL and also Director and Head of the Centre for Comparative and Clinical Anatomy at the University of Bristol. Career: Graduated in veterinary science in 1972, his PhD thesis in 1976 related to functional adaptation of bone, both at the University of Bristol.

He maintained a research interest in the pathobiology of skeletal tissues. His contributions to research in this field have centred upon the optimisation of skeletal structures in relation to their functional roles. At the University of Bristol he progressed from Post-Doc through Lecturer, reader and Professor to Head of the Department of Anatomy and also led the Comparative Orthopaedics Research Unit. In 1996 he moved to a joint appointment between the Royal Veterinary College and University College London. In 2000 he was appointed as Director of the Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Science at UCL, from which he retired in November 2011. Interests: His translational research in mechanobiology of skeletal tissues has led to changes in the understanding of bone repair, degenerative disease of tendons and the enhancement of integration of orthopaedic prostheses with biological tissues and structures, and more recently the potential of stem cell therapy for skeletal tissue regeneration.
