Welcome to the Chahine Lab!
We are interested in developing new therapies for cartilaginous tissues in the musculoskeletal system. Our focus is on spinal intervertebral discs, where we apply tools of bioengineering and biomechanics to understand degeneration and to develop regenerative strategies. We are also developing diagnostics biomarkers for back pain, the leading cause of disability worldwide.
Scientific research in the musculoskeletal system at Columbia University spans across a wide range of disciplines and programs. This seminar series is dedicated to bringing together this community, to organize an effort to invite outstanding speakers in all facets of musculoskeletal research.
Seminars are from 12- 1pm, Carroll Conference Room, Presbyterian Hospital, 11th floor, Room 11-1110, except where noted.
