Beth Gibson (our PhD student) is back from her RUBICON secondment in Hong Kong. Beth had a successful and productive secondment analysing the spinal phenotype of two mouse models of aggrecanopathies, and particiapted in several meetings and conferecnces including the Little People of Hong Kong society. We would like to thank Danny and his lab for hosting Beth and look forward to future collaboration.
Kasia is talking about “Drug repurposing and rare skeletal disorders” at the OARSI meeting in Liverpool this year.
It’s a great meeting, covering many different aspects of skeletal biology, including rare and common diseases, drug repurposing, clinical trials, tissue engineering and many more. Lots of great science!

A few snapshots from my (Kasia’s) H2020 RUBICON sabbatical in Chennai (India) investigating oxidative stress in pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH). Interesting science and networking opportunities, and a really interesting place to visit. Thank you to Dr Suvro Chatterjee and Dr Suganya Natarajan for hosting me in their laboratory at the AU-KBC Centre at the Madras University of Technology, Anna University!
