preARC in 2022

| Summary:
The overall aim of this proposal is to bring together a cadre of scientists from the Medical campus and the Charles River Campus to elucidate the factors (environmental, pathobiologic, genetics) affecting the musculoskeletal system across the lifespan. Environmental, pathobiologic and genetic factors and their intersectionality, contribute to the risk of, resilience to, and protection from musculoskeletal disorders. The initial focus of the Pre-ARC capitalizes on current themes within the musculoskeletal system, such as response to pain with a special emphasis on osteoarthritis. The investigations take advantage of technologies and resources including national databases, mobile health, clinical and preclinical, and animal models to interrogate physiological tissues (bones, joints, muscles, tendons, nervous system innervation). By bringing together a diverse group of scientists with this overall aim, the results from their efforts have potential to drive new therapeutic avenues to prevent and treat musculoskeletal disorders.
