Skeletal structure is continually modified throughout life to take into account dietary, hormonal and physical changes. This is brought about by three major cell types which either form bone, destroy bone, or sense mechanical and hormonal influences on the skeleton. My work seeks to understand the way these cells are controlled and how they control each other. In this way, I will identify new ways of treating osteoporosis, arthritis, skeletal birth defects and cancer-induced bone disease.

骨骼结构在整个生命过程中不断修改，以考虑饮食，荷尔蒙和身体变化。这是由三种主要的细胞类型引起的，它们要么形成骨骼，要么破坏骨骼，要么感知骨骼上的机械和激素影响。我的工作旨在了解这些细胞是如何被控制的，以及它们是如何相互控制的。通过这种方式，我将确定治疗骨质疏松症、关节炎、骨骼先天缺陷和癌症引起的骨骼疾病的新方法。
