FAES Science Insight Series: From Gene Discovery to Mechanistic Treatments: Decoding the Complexities of Skeletal Dysplasias
Published: September 2026
Speaker: Carlos R. Ferreira, MD, Clinical Tenure-Track Investigator, Unit on Skeletal Genomics, Division of Translational Medicine, NICHD
About this event
This is an in-person event to be held on 10/15/2026 11:45 a.m. - 10/15/2026 1 p.m. ET
The lecture will describe our investigation of skeletal disorders, focusing on those affecting the FGF23/phosphate axis or those with an unknown cause. We will discuss the use of genomic and other approaches to identify and characterize the underlying causes and mechanisms of genetic skeletal disorders.
This series invites Principal Investigators to share cutting-edge research and developments in their fields. Each session includes a 40–45-minute presentation followed by a Q&A or journal club discussion, fostering deeper insights and scholarly exchange. This is an in-person event held in the FAES Learning Labs in Building 10 located on the NIH Main Campus in Bethesda, MD. Lunch is provided on a first come first served basis.
