Scientific Projects
Translational Research in Neuromuscular and Musculoskeletal Diseases
The MUSKETHER team is developing an integrated translational research program structured around four interconnected axes:
- Identification of novel neuromuscular diseases and analysis of their pathological mechanisms.
- Development of advanced three-dimensional models of skeletal muscle, bone, and tendon to enable pathophysiological studies and therapeutic discovery.
- Acceleration of the development of personalized therapeutic strategies, including gene, cell, and pharmacological therapies, with a particular focus on rare and ultra-rare neuromuscular diseases.
- Conduct of clinical trials for musculoskeletal disorders.
This strategy builds on the recent reorganization of the team and the emergence of talented female researchers in leadership positions, ensuring gender equity and equality within the group.
The integration of fundamental research, disease modeling, and clinical investigation provides a robust framework for translational medicine in rare neuromuscular and musculoskeletal diseases.
