The Musculoskeletal Knowledge Portal is being developed by a team of scientists from the International Federation of Musculoskeletal Research Societies (IFMRS) and scientists and software engineers at the Broad Institute. The IFMRS mission is to advance musculoskeletal research globally in order to prevent and treat musculoskeletal diseases by collaborating with international societies to share resources, raise public awareness, and provide education.
There are several ways to get in touch with the Portal team:
- Contact the team to get individual help or make suggestions
