CAPSTONE Centers for Multidisciplinary Research in Child Abuse and Neglect
Overview
NIH has funded research on the prevalence, causes, course, and immediate and long-term consequences of physical, sexual, and emotional child abuse and neglect—now called child maltreatment—for the past few decades. Results of these efforts indicate that child and adolescent victims of abuse are likely to have a legacy of physical and mental problems well into adulthood.

Carlos Ferreira Lab: Unit on Skeletal Genomics
The Unit on Skeletal Genomics (USG) has three main goals: 1) conduct a natural history study to uncover the clinical spectrum of selected skeletal dysplasias and identify new gene-disease associations; 2) understand their pathomechanisms via cell and animal models; and 3) develop mechanistically informed treatments. The group focuses on skeletal disorders affecting the FGF23/phosphate axis or those with an unknown cause.
