Over 2 million Canadians are treated annually for bone-related conditions, such as osteoporosis, joint replacements, and dental implants. Bone is a complex material with its properties influenced by the organization of its structural and biological components, spanning the nanometer to micrometer length scales. This Canada Research Chair program will develop cutting edge microscopy approaches to characterize bone, its natural interfaces, and its interface with implant materials across all lengths. This research will lead to a greater understanding of the structural and biological connections in bone, improve our ability to diagnose bone disorders, and develop bone implants that last longer.

每年有超过200万加拿大人接受与骨骼有关的疾病治疗，如骨质疏松症、关节置换和牙科植入。骨是一种复杂的材料，其性质受其结构和生物成分的组织影响，跨越纳米到微米的长度尺度。 该加拿大研究主席计划将开发尖端显微镜方法，以表征骨、其自然界面及其与所有长度的植入物材料的界面。这项研究将使我们更好地了解骨骼的结构和生物学连接，提高我们诊断骨骼疾病的能力，并开发出持续时间更长的骨植入物。
