Since introducing PRP into orthopedic practice nearly two decades ago, Dr. Sampson’s research, publications, and clinical innovations have helped shape the field and contributed to the global adoption of orthobiologic therapies. He has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications and textbook chapters and has delivered invited lectures at leading institutions worldwide, including the United Nations in Geneva, the United States Congress, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

In 2007, Dr. Sampson founded The Orthobiologic Institute (TOBI), one of the world’s premier educational organizations dedicated to regenerative medicine. Now in its 18th year, TOBI has educated thousands of physicians from more than 80 countries through advanced scientific meetings, hands-on cadaver laboratories, and collaborative research, helping establish best practices in regenerative medicine worldwide.

Committed to advancing the future of regenerative medicine, Dr. Sampson is also Co-Founder of the Ortho Healthspan Alliance, a physician-led network of leading regenerative orthopedic practices dedicated to elevating clinical standards, fostering physician collaboration, and expanding access to evidence-based orthobiologic care.
