BioFrontiers Presents: "Engineering a Cure for Osteoarthritis"

BioFrontiers Presents is a free public talk series sponsored by the CU Boulder BioFrontiers Institute. Our mission is to engage with our community through public talks for public good. Professor Stephanie Bryant will deliver the October talk: Engineering a Cure for Osteoarthritis. She will discuss her team's Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) funded NITRO project, which is developing injectable therapies to eradicate osteoarthritis, a debilitating disease that affects 32 million Americans. Through a lot of hard work, many hours, and a stellar team, they have demonstrated that they can reverse osteoarthritis and regrow cartilage in the lab. They are now moving towards FDA-required studies to prove their therapies are safe prior to moving into first-in-human clinical trails. Come learn what tissue engineers, biologists, and clinicians are developing to cure osteoarthritis! Talk + Q&A for the first hour, then a free reception to facilitate informal discussion.
