The Jacobsen lab uses rare genetic bone disorders as a model to understand bone growth and development. We use mouse models, human derived pluripotent stem cells and human genetics. Our goal is to development new therapies for pediatric bone disease, especially pediatric osteoporosis and disorders of bone formation.
