About Us
Bone & Joints Research Centre was established in 1999 to provide an Institute devoted to advancing our understanding of the disorders and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, their diagnosis and treatments. Bone & Joints Research Centre is a centre of excellence in rare bone diseases. The centre is able to conduct phase 1 to 4 clinical research trials and is equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring facilities including cardiac monitors, EKGs as well as on-site imaging and lab facilities.
We conduct bone and joint research out of the developing evidence-based strategies to manage and treat these disorders through surgical and medical breakthroughs. Our team of medical researchers are leaders in their fields, actively involved in clinical and basic-science-discovery research.
Our research aims to:
- identify the causes of joint destruction in arthritis
- develop surgical and medical treatments which will restore joint structure and function
- understand the pathophysiology of bone, cartilage and tendon failure in musculoskeletal disorders and devise new approaches for their repair and regeneration
- identify the factors (inherited, occupational, hormonal, etc.) which contribute to the morbidity of bone and joint disease
