TARC Research Seminar: Dr. Raghunatha Yammani; "Proteostasis: Does it have a role in osteoarthritis?"
2022-04-29 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Remote or In Person Options Available
Proteostasis: Does it have a role in osteoarthritis?
Brief description: Loss of proteostasis is one of the hallmarks of aging. We found that aging reduces the expression of molecular chaperones in chondrocytes resulting in cellular stress and inflammation, which could contribute to the development of osteoarthritis.

2022-05-20 12:00 - 13:00 | Remote or In Person Options Available
“Genomic Approaches to Understanding the Genetic Risk of Osteoarthritis”
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 100 osteoarthritis (OA)-associated loci; however, translating these broad loci into actionable therapeutic targets requires identifying the causal variants, the gene(s) they affect, and their mechanistic impact on OA risk. We apply genomic, bioinformatics, and genome editing approaches to identify novel OA risk genes for further study and therapeutic development.

Presentation Title: “Orthopedic Translational Medicine: Horses, Humans and the Pursuit of Joint Health”
Brief description: Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis (PTOA) is extremely common in equine athletes as well as humans. The horse is an incredible translational model and has been utilized for decades to inform equine clinicians treating their patients and MD’s treating people with PTOA. Further, septic arthritis has been a musculoskeletal condition that causes intense pain, suffering and sometimes death in both horses and people. This talk will review preclinical modeling to treat PTOA and septic OA in horses as a method to better treat disease in equine patients and humans. Expansive knowledge has been gained in the last decade to further help these common diseases in athletes and this talk will inform attendees of the exciting new modalities that are on the horizon in One Health.

2022-10-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Join Remotely
“Treatment Stratification of Patients Based on Biomarker Profile”
Brief Description: Stratified medicine involves the use of biomarkers to differentiate patient populations into subsets (i.e. endotypes) that provide more detailed information about the specific causes of conditions, and predict how patients will respond to a given drug or combination of drugs. The ability to successfully identify different osteoarthritis (OA) endotypes will increase chances of regulatory approval of drugs for OA and ultimately, transform the current empirical medical practice to efficient data-driven individualized therapeutic strategies with lower risk of medical error. This talk will summarize currently proposed OA endotypes and current prospects and implications.

“The role of obesity in inflammatory arthritis: epidemiologic challenges.”
Brief Description of Presentation: The risks of obesity in the development and severity of inflammatory arthritis have been difficult to estimate, partly because body mass is a poor indicator of metabolic health. In this talk we will explore the associations between obesity (as traditionally defined) and clinical outcomes in patients with inflammatory arthritis, and discuss some work to better define metabolic health to improve prognosis.
