With the University of Toronto Bonelab, Professor Morris Manolson’s research explores the conditions leading to pathological bone loss, and develops therapeutics to prevent it. Professor Manolson has recently won a CIHR grant to study V-ATPases, the body’s “acid pumps,” a study which may reveal novel new therapeutic targets for diseases ranging from arthritis to cancer.
