Project Details
Description
LOAD (Lund Osteoarthritis Division) is a multi-disciplinary network of highly merited osteoarthritis researchers at Lund University. The LOAD members cover expertise in clinical orthopedics, epidemiology, extracellular matrix biology and proteomics, physical therapy, biomechanical engineering and imaging. The network frequently collaborates with prominent international researchers within the osteoarthritis field.
The above-mentioned competencies, together with our access to non-invasive and highly sensitive methods of cartilage analysis as well as clinical expertise and patient cohorts, provides LOAD with unique opportunities to answer questions at the molecular as well as at the clinical level in the field of osteoarthritis. The overall goal of the network is to develop better means to diagnose, prevent and treat osteoarthritis and thus provide better quality of life for patients living with the disease.
