Summary
The AoE programme in “Developmental Genomics and Skeletal Research” is a coalition of scientists and clinicians that aims to broaden the understanding of the biology of skeletal growth, development and degeneration; to translate this knowledge into strategies and therapies for skeletal tissue reconstitution and repair; to transfer the knowledge to the public; and to apply these strategies for better healthcare and quality of life for the millions of people suffering from musculoskeletal problems.
This AoE programme is one of the very few worldwide that is taking large-scale, multidisciplinary, multi-pronged approaches, combining molecular, biochemical, cellular, developmental and in vivo models with genomic, genetic and clinical studies, to address key issues in skeletal biology.
