The Musculoskeletal programme consists of a team of scientists and clinicians working together to seek a better understanding of bone, cartilage and muscle biology and physiology in health and disease. By combining basic molecular and cell biological research with patient studies we seek to develop new or better ways of diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders. Together with our collaborators (local, national and international) we work toward this goal using a strong multidisciplinary approach. We strive for excellence in our research and in the training and development of those who work in our Programme.
