Mission

Our mission is to improve the health and life of people with arthritis
and other musculoskeletal diseases. Among the different forms
of arthritides, we focus specifically on osteoarthritis (OA). Our research
ranges from basic science to translational, clinical, and epidemiologic
projects. We investigate disease mechanisms, search for new therapeutic
targets, and conduct a cohort study together with a bio-material bank of
people with OA, including clinical and laboratory parameters, biomarkers
and bio-samples, images, risk factors, oral health, patient-reported
outcomes and digital health technology-derived data.
