Expertise: Professor of Medical Science Qian Chen studies the development and aging of joint cartilage. His research on cartilage cells and extracellular matrix– proteins that support tissue architecture– examines how the mutations in these proteins lead to skeleton malformation and joint degeneration. He also studies how skeletal development and aging are affected by mechanical factors. By studying these mechanisms, he hopes to develop therapies against osteoarthritis, and repair damaged cartilage.
