Molecular mechanisms in skeletal development and disease

Project

Molecular mechanisms in skeletal development and disease

Project Details

This team is interested in the development and repair of musculoskeletal tissues. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system include those that arise during development, including inherited connective tissue diseases such as Marfan Syndrome and chondrodysplasias, as well as the highly prevalent age-related disease of joints, osteoarthritis. The team uses model systems as well as large human datasets to explore molecular drivers of disease and mechanisms that underly chondrogenesis and cartilage repair, including stem cell biology and deciphering intrinsic cartilage repair mechanisms.
