Description:
The
Bone
and
Extracellular
Matrix
branch
of
NICHD
conducts
translational
research
on
genetic
disorders
of
bone.
Our
interest
is
in
understanding
the
molecular
mechanisms
by
which
defects
in
components
of
matrix
cause
bone
disease,
and
in
applying
this
information
for
the
care
of
our
pediatric
patients.
We
are
seeking
to
fill
a
Research
Fellow
position
involving
the
cell
biology
of
osteoblasts
from
murine
model
for
osteogenesis
imperfecta,
and
from
OI
patients.
Project
involves
investigation
of
developmental
abnormalities
of
OI
osteoblasts
and
their
cross-talk
with
osteoclasts,
cell-matrix
interactions,
mutant
collagen
trafficking,
chaperone
interactions,
and
secretion.
