Research Symposium -2025
Musculoskeletal Research Symposium
Friday, April 11, 2025
The Delaware Center for Musculoskeletal Research and the Center for Biomechanical Engineering Research will hold a joint Research Symposium at the North Atrium at STAR Campus. Our goal is to show case the exciting research performed by faculty, students, and clinicians at University of Delaware and surrounding hospitals (Nemours Children’s Hospital and Christiana Care), spanning from basic, translational, to clinical studies of biomechanical injury and repair processes and musculoskeletal disorders.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Deborah Veis
Title: Exosomes in the pre-malignant bone microenvironment: the case of HTLV-1 infection
| Dr. Veis studies the interaction between native bone cells and invaders such as microbes and tumor cells using a variety of in vitro systems and mouse models. Although much of the work revolves around her favorite cell, the osteoclast, understanding communication among many residents of the bone microenvironment is key to understanding the pathophysiology of infection and tumor progression. In this presentation, Dr. Veis will discuss the interactions between HTLV-1 infected T cells and bone cells via exosomes, and how these might mediate progression from chronic infection to leukemia. Deborah Veis, MD, PhD is Professor of Medicine and Pathology & Immunology at the Washington University Musculoskeletal Research Center, where she is Associate Director, and leads a laboratory studying pathological bone loss, particularly in the context of infection and tumor: bone interactions. Her clinical specialty is Anatomic Pathology, focused on metabolic bone disease and breast cancer. |
