Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) for Skeletal Health and Repair
Joint diseases impact the quality of life of more than 40 million Americans and are among the leading causes of disability. Increases in incidences of joint diseases can be attributed to an aging baby boomer generation and high obesity rates.
The COBRE for Skeletal Health and Repair at Rhode Island Hospital enables clinicians, scientists, engineers and biologists to work side-by-side on multidisciplinary research, helping to better understand cartilage and joint health mechanisms and develop strategies for the prevention and treatment of skeletal joint diseases.
In 2012, Rhode Island Hospital’s Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Skeletal Health and Repair was awarded a $10.8 million Phase II grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to fund studies of cartilage and joint health. COBRE was awarded an $11 million NIH Phase I grant in 2007.
"I am honored to continue lead this COBRE center and hope the research performed at Rhode Island Hospital, the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and in the city of Providence will translate into newer and better treatments, cures and preventive techniques that will improve the health of all Americans."
