Omic Approaches and Osteoarthritis: Opportunities and Challenges

Mohit KAPOOR

Professor, PhD, University of Toronto and Co-Director of the Schroeder Arthritis Institute

invité par Jérémie SELLAM équipe de Francis BERENBAUM (Jeremie.sellam@aphp.fr)

Dr. Mohit Kapoor is the Co-Director of the Schroeder Arthritis Institute in Toronto, the largest multidisciplinary Arthritis Institute in Canada. He is the Tony and Shari Fell Platinum Chair in Arthritis Research. He is also the Canada Research Chair, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Director of the Collaborative Program in Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Toronto. Dr. Kapoor’s translational research program utilizes multi-omic approaches to understand the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with joint destruction during osteoarthritis.

This talk will discuss the utility and challenges associated with multi-omic approaches to (i) understand the complex OA endo-phenotypes and (ii) to understand the endogenous mechanisms associated with the joint destruction during OA. This talk will also provide an update on some of our key therapeutic strategies to limit joint destruction during OA using small and large animal model studies (safety and efficacy trials).
