About
Research in the Levaot Lab focuses on how bone cells integrate biochemical signals and mechanical cues to build, maintain, and repair the skeleton, and how these processes can be therapeutically targeted in osteoporosis and inflammatory bone loss. Core research themes: - Signaling pathways controlling osteoclasts and bone resorption. - Osteoblast biology and bone matrix quality. - Engineering next?generation therapeutics for osteoporosis and rare bone diseases. What PhD students will work on? PhD projects in the lab typically combine: Advanced mouse models of bone disease (osteoporosis, inflammatory bone loss, genetic GPCR manipulation). Quantitative bone imaging and mechanics (micro?CT, histomorphometry, matrix composition and material properties). Molecular and cellular biology of osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and their progenitors, including GPCR signaling, integrin pathways, and ligand engineering. Students who join the lab will be exposed to both fundamental skeletal biology and translational drug development, with opportunities to publish in high?impact journals and to contribute directly to the design of innovative therapies for osteoporosis and inflammatory bone disease.The University bears no responsibility for the content displayed on this page or on any other faculty members’ pages.
