Research and teaching
Dr Kluzek leads research groups interested in injuries and illnesses affecting the active population and the consequences of the common causes of chronic muscle and joint pain, including metabolic and hormonal problems. His research explores the role of inflammatory pathways in the development of common musculoskeletal conditions.
His research has already provided new insights into Osteoarthritis, from the effect of the early environment to treatments for established disease. He has been involved in several large multicenter clinical trials to define the benefit of new therapeutic interventions in musculoskeletal systems.
