Understanding Musculoskeletal Ageing

We are a collaborative lab at Newcastle University, UK, working to understand the molecular genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal ageing in health and disease. We aim to bridge the gap between the discovery of genetic loci involved in disease and the translation of novel therapies for patient benefit.
