Biography
Kyle Allen's centering question for his laboratory is ‘How do degenerative musculoskeletal diseases, like osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration, cause pain and disability?’ While seemingly simple, this question is quite complex, as the relationship between pathology and symptoms changes during the long, chronic stages of these diseases. His laboratory works at multiple levels, including rodent disease models and clinical studies in veterinary and human patients.
