SEMINAR: Microbiology & Immunology Seminar Series: How BMPs signal to target cells in musculoskeletal tissues

Professor Vicki Rosen will give a talk on "How BMPs signal to target cells in musculoskeletal tissues" in the Microbiology & Immunology Seminar room, Friday, 14 September 2012 at 09.00am. Dr Vicki Rosen has been a full Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard School of Dental Medicine since 2001, and Chair of the Department of Developmental Biology since 2005. Dr Rosen’s laboratory studies the physiological roles that bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play in the development, maintenance, and repair of musculoskeletal tissues (bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, meniscus, muscle). Her research has led to the development of novel strategies for repair and regeneration individual components of the musculoskeletal system.
