Wise-Rios Lab

About Us

Our lab focuses on defining mechanisms of pediatric musculoskeletal diseases, and on translating that information into better treatments.

We use human and mouse genetics to identify the causes of musculoskeletal diseases, and we use a variety of in vitro and in vivo tools to study causal genes.
