This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Benjamin Sinder, Orthopedic Surgery.
Project Description: Bone is a highly dynamic tissue and your entire skeleton is replaced every ~10 years! Using specialized animal models, we study how bone strength is maintained (including in rare diseases), how it adapts to mechanical loading and heals, and specific signalling pathways that modulate this response. The selected student will get the opportunity to use a variety of cutting-edge histology, fluorescent microscopy, microCT imaging, and/or mechanical testing techniques to address these questions. There may be opportunities to focus on certain techniques/aspects of a project depending on the candidate.
