A public lecture by Alan Grodzinsky, Director, Center for Biomedical Engineering, MIT.
It is widely accepted that Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder in the world, causing major health problems, pain and disability for adults young and old. Yet today, there are still no disease modifying Osteoarthritis drugs (“DMOADS”) that can halt or reverse the progression of disease, only drugs that may temporarily alleviate painful symptoms in knees, hips or other affected joints. Osteoarthritis is a disease of the whole joint, including cartilage, bone and other soft tissues.
In this lecture, Dr Grodzinsky, UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Visiting Professor-at-Large, will discuss current challenges to diagnosis, tissue degradation, and drug discovery for Osteoarthritis.
