Recently the Department has made a major new investment to further develop basic research in the investigation of disease of the musculoskeletal system. Key to this process was the recruitment of three established faculty with international reputations in basic musculoskeletal research.
Drs. Thomas Clemens, Xu Cao, and Mei Wan bring federally-funded research programs with a staff of 12 supporting scientists to newly renovated space in the Ross Research Building on the East Baltimore Campus of Johns Hopkins. Click here to see the new group.
These investigators have been charged to integrate and further develop the musculoskeletal research program with investigators within orthopaedics and across several departments and schools at Hopkins that have established research programs in skeletal biology.
Research activities will be focused on cell and developmental biology of bone and skeletal muscle, regenerative medicine, skeletal neurobiology, and pathogenesis of common developmental, degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
The Center for Musculoskeletal Research (CMR) at Johns Hopkins upholds the tradition of our department by seeking answers and resolutions that ultimately will impact the diagnosis, treatment and quality of life for pediatric and adult orthopaedic patients.
