Formation of the human skeleton and proper bone, cartilage, joint and muscle function are determined by complex interactions between developmental signalling pathways. Genetic and acquired disorders affecting these tissues are common. The group’s research is aimed at understanding the molecular basis of these disorders to improve diagnosis and counselling, identify new therapeutic targets and test the effectiveness of new treatments to ultimately improve the quality of life for children with these debilitating conditions
