Problem addressed

Neuromusculoskeletal disorders constitute some of the most impactful challenges for the aged. The disease burden of these disorders, including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, low-back pain, muscular defects such as sarcopenia and volumetric muscle loss, and tendon, vascular, and peripheral nerve injuries, and others, is well recognized.

Innovation

State of the art, multi-disciplinary research on neuromusculoskeletal regeneration
Translation of basic science discoveries into drug development and clinically viable treatments

Key impact

CNRM will be both responsive to and responsible for the creation, development, and delivery of regenerative solutions to enhance the recovery, rehabilitation and return-to-active-lifestyle for individuals suffering from neuromusculoskeletal challenges.

Application

elderly with Neuromusculoskeletal disorders
patients with musculoskeletal injuries
