Clinical, Integrative Physiology, and Rare Diseases of Bone Program

Funded researchers are investigating rare bone diseases and the integrative physiology of bones.

Rare bone diseases research includes:

• Mechanisms, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology.
• Pre-clinical development of novel therapeutics.
• Natural history, diagnosis, and therapeutic treatment.

Integrative physiology of bone research includes:

• Interaction and communication between bone and other tissues/organs.
• Mechanisms of bone mineralization and mineral homeostasis.
• Consequences for bone of malignancy and skeletal metastasis.
• Genetics/genomics/epigenetics/proteomics.
