Research Platform

The CABMM Research Platform was a multidisciplinary organisation embedded within the Department of Molecular Mechanisms of Disease, University of Zurich. The aim of the CABMM Research Platform was to establish a physical space as a working center of excellence in the field of musculoskeletal research and to promote collaborations within the CABMM network by offering a physical platform for collaborative research providing lab space and also expert assistance in the form of technical support and scientific discussions. It was thought to be a place where basic scientists, clinicians and veterinarians could discuss their research and ideas and work shoulder to shoulder for the purpose of developing novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of dysfunctional and diseased tissues.

In more than 15 years of operation, there were almost 60 people from > 10 different research groups using the CABMM Research Platform. Their projects covered a variety of different research and clinical topics, and involved various disciplines, reflecting its translational and interdisciplinary character very well
