Chengchong Ai, MD, PhD

postdoctoral research associate
Washington University in St. Louis

Chengchong “CC” Ai, MD, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Ai works closely with Dr. Regis O’Keefe and Dr. Cecilia Pascual-Garrido on translational musculoskeletal research, focusing on osteoarthritis pathogenesis, pain-pathology discordance, and regenerative rehabilitation approaches. Her work integrates basic science and clinical insights, spanning siRNA-nanoparticle intra-articular therapies, dorsal root ganglion transcriptomics, and cartilage-synovium crosstalk in the progression of femoroacetabular impingement to osteoarthritis. Dr. Ai is actively preparing for a career in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, with aspirations to become an academic physiatrist bridging regenerative medicine with holistic rehabilitation care.
