  • Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common form of arthritis that impacts the entire joint structure, including bones, cartilage, ligaments, and muscles. Previously considered a result of age-related 'wear and tear,' OA is now believed to stem from an imbalance between cell breakdown and renewal.

  • The Osteoarthritis Clinical Research team is a dedicated group of osteoarthritis researchers and clinicians who are committed to advancing our understanding of this debilitating condition. Through cutting-edge techniques, innovative approaches and clinical trials, we aim to unravel the complexities of osteoarthritis and identify the underlying mechanisms that contribute to its development and progression.
