The GEnomics of MusculoSkeletal traits TranslatiOnal Network (GEMSTONE) COST Action, is a European research network funded by COST Association. This network fosters collaboration among experts
Bone: A rigid body tissue that makes up our body’s skeleton.
Craft: Skill and experience
Bone Craft combines the expertise and experience of the Translational Genomics of the Skeleton team at Erasmus MC. Our group is committed to transforming genomic discoveries into tangible clinical solutions for individuals vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders and other complex diseases.
Enriching structural and functional assessments of the musculoskeletal system allowing gaining novel insights by applying diverse analytical tools including machine learning approaches on Big Data from population- and patient-based cohorts.
Bridging genomic discovery research with its effective routine use in healthcare settings.
I graduated with a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Liverpool and went on to obtain a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from King’s College London, specializing in psychiatric genetics. My M.Sc. project focused on using genetics to infer a causal relationship between bone fragility and Alzheimer’s disease.
