BU Researchers Win $46 Million Grant for Osteoarthritis Research
A pair of researchers—David T. Felson and Tuhina Neogi, both professors of medicine at the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and also of epidemiology at the BU School of Public Health—have been trying to understand what causes osteoarthritis. They’re then using that information to find ways to slow its onset and provide more effective and targeted treatments. They have received a five-year, $46 million award to support their ongoing study, one of the largest awards BU’s medical school has received. The funding was given by the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging.
