Biography
Lisbet Haglund is a basic scientist and a tenured Professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Orthopaedic Surgery at McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Lisbet has a strong interest in musculoskeletal research spanning from tissue injury, degeneration, and inflammation to regenerative medicine, and she has been actively involved in bone, cartilage, and intervertebral disc research throughout her career. She has developed a research program aiming to enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to pain in spine pathology. More precisely, to develop molecular markers to follow disease state, progression, or effect of treatment, and most importantly to develop novel therapeutic interventions for painful spine conditions. Lisbet is a member of the McGill Scoliosis and Spine Group, and she is working closely with the clinical team. This has allowed her to generate an extensive cell and tissue bank of symptomatic (surgical) and non-symptomatic (organ donor) cells and tissues.
