These diseases are, in part, regulated by genetic determinants and understanding their genetic basis is critical to the development of effective therapeutics. \u00a0In recent years, technological advances, such as sequencing the genomes of multiple species and the ability to perform bioassays in a massively parallel fashion, have made it possible to begin to understand disease in a systems context. \u00a0Systems-biology, an exciting new area of research and way of thinking, attempts to determine the direct and interactive roles of all cellular and physiological components (transcripts, protein, metabolites, etc.) in diseased and normal states using data from high-throughput genomic studies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Our lab uses systems approaches to investigate the molecular basis of bone fragility . Specifically, we combine genetics and genomics data, primarily in the mouse, to identify genes and pathways which influence bone strength.\u00a0 Techniques that we employ include causality modeling between expression and physiological traits and generating disease focused gene co-expression networks. We also test hypotheses generated by systems analyses using in vitro cell based assays and transgenic mouse models.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Selected Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Farber CR, Reich A, Barnes AM, Becerra P, Rauch F, Cabral WA, Bae A, Quinlan A, Glorieux FH, Clemens TL, Marini JC.
