The team at Therapeutics in Musculoskeletal Disorders pioneers breakthrough discoveries and treatments that aim to improve bone health. Our research uses fundamental discoveries and novel therapeutic strategies to target clinical problems in bone health. We actively lead and participate in collaborative teams that implement cutting-edge technologies to help improve numerous musculoskeletal disorders. The group's research is focused on three broad areas: Understanding the role of nutrition, hormones and genetics in the development of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rare genetic disorders of bone metabolism; therapeutics and orthopaedic devices to prevent orthopaedic infections and enhance healthy bone healing; and targeted therapies to prevent aggressive metastatic bone cancers.
Our state-of-the-art facilities enable pre-clinical bio testing, surgical practice and clinical trials; we are at the forefront of both pre-clinical and clinical innovation, offering world-class expertise and training for projects for both public and industry sectors.
With over 20 years of continuous support from leading organizations like the National Health and Medical Research Council, the National Institute of Health, Arthritis Australia, and the Bone Health Foundation, Therapeutics in Musculoskeletal Disorders is a global leader in musculoskeletal research. Therapeutics in Musculoskeletal Disorders provides proof-of-concept and ISO quality testing for industry and has a growing reputation for delivering medical device research required for clinical translation.
Therapeutics in Musculoskeletal Disorders supports the Bone Health Foundation, which aims to partner with national stakeholders in musculoskeletal health research to fund and engage with Australia's best and brightest researchers and to educate the public about the importance of bone health throughout life. The Foundation is steadily increasing its national presence in supporting bone health research, and Therapeutics in Musculoskeletal Disorders is a supporter of the Bone Health Foundation and their activities.
Through strong collaborations with national and international experts, we're advancing the science of better bone health for a healthier tomorrow.
