Funded Activity Summary

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system are the second most prevalent medical conditions, and the second leading cause of health care expenditure in Australia. This research program seeks to identify genes causing inherited musculoskeletal disease and osteoarthritis. By identifying these genes, and by understanding the detailed molecular mechanisms of how gene mutations cause these disorders, our research is working towards developing better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches
