The Musculoskeletal Bioengineering Laboratory, led by Prof. Dr. Tristan März, is an interdisciplinary research group focused on understanding the pathophysiology of arthritis. Our work integrates in vitro models across diverse cell types and in vivo models of joint injury and inflammatory arthritis to elucidate inflammation and fibrosis-relevant mechanisms that lead to joint disease. Our overarching goal is to identify and target novel molecular mechanisms underlying inflammation and tissue degeneration, with the long-term objective of developing novel disease-modifying therapies.
