Welcome and thank you very much for visiting!
The Bone Cell Biology and Imaging Laboratory at the Hospital for Special Surgery investigates the molecular mechanisms which control bone biology in normal and damaged bone.
In order to provide a direct view of the molecular and cellular events in living, intact bone, we develop and apply cutting-edge musculoskeletal molecular imaging for real-time visualization in pre-clinical models as well as in patients.
Current research focus:
The Bone Cell Biology and Imaging Laboratory conducts interdisciplinary, team-driven research bringing together students, scientists, physician-scientists and physicians. The lab is also engaged in close collaborations with research groups at Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York City. Our long-range goal is to devise novel treatments and imaging protocols for patients with impaired bone integrity due to trauma, genetic alteration, or cancer.
Research in the Bone Cell Biology and Imaging Laboratory is supported by:
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases
Orthopaedic Trauma Association
The Nancy Dickerson Whitehead Research Fellowship
Students and postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to inquire about research opportunities (Please contact Philipp Mayer-Kuckuk: mayerkuckukp@hss.edu).

One of the goals of HSS is to advance the science of orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, and related disciplines for the benefit of patients. Research staff at HSS may collaborate with outside companies for education, research and medical advances. HSS supports this collaboration in order to foster medical breakthroughs; however, HSS also believes that these collaborations must be disclosed.
As part of the disclosure process, this website lists Research staff collaborations with outside companies if the Research staff member received any payment during the prior year or expects to receive any payment in the next year. The disclosures are based on information provided by the Research staff and other sources and are updated regularly. Current ownership interests and leadership positions are also listed. Further information may be available on individual company websites.
As of March 16, 2012, Dr. Mayer-Kuckuk reported no relationships with healthcare industry.
By disclosing the collaborations of HSS Research staff with industry on this website, HSS and its Research staff make this information available to patients and the public, thus creating a transparent environment for those who are interested in this information. Further, the HSS Conflicts of Interest Policy does not permit payment of royalties on products developed by him/her that are used on patients at HSS.
