Course description
The course aims to enable doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows to acquire a comprehensive knowledge in different aspects of skeletal biology, from development to function in health and disease, as well as the most recent advances in regenerative medicine of bone and cartilage tissues.
The course will cover basic cell biological, developmental and clinical aspects of skeletal physiology in health and disease. This course will also give students a glimpse of skeletal-related practical work, as well as the opportunity to develop their critical thinking by discussing the topics and connecting the learned concepts to students' respective study plans.
The majority of lectures are conducted by international speakers, selected by the course organisers as experts in their fields.
