Ever wonder what a tendon researcher does when the Ever wonder what a tendon researcher does when they leave the lab? For Ben Peterson, PhD, it's running long distances, getting lost in sci-fi novels and cooking his way through new recipes. In our latest Researchers Unplugged feature, meet the postdoctoral fellow studying how tendons grow, heal, and regenerate at Mass General Brigham. His research aims to uncover the biology behind tendon injuries and recovery, with the goal of improving treatments for patients. When he's not in the lab, Ben enjoys exploring the outdoors, training for races and more. “I’m a huge advocate for unplugging and spending time in nature,” said Peterson. “I’m always looking for a new spot to hike or go backpacking. I’m also an avid runner and try to get out as often as possible.” Research is powered by people, and every discovery starts with curious minds, unique perspectives, and passions that extend far beyond the lab. Get to know Ben and learn what inspires both his science and his life outside of research at the link in our bio.
