Skeletal Muscle Function
Welcome to the CR2M
Centre of Research on skeletal Muscle and Movement
The Centre of Research on skeletal Muscle and Movement (CR2M) brings together fundamental scientists, movement specialists and clinicians, to explore the many dimensions of mobility, from the intricate molecular networks within muscle cells to the graceful movements that shape our daily lives. The Centre is committed to raising awarness on muscular disorders and to advance our understanding of these conditions to improve diagnosis, treatment and long-term care. The CR2M also works toward developing personalized mobility solutions and advocates for the lifelong benefits of enhancing motor capacities, helping individuals gain more years of autonomy, vitality, and well-being. The CR2M thrives on collaborations, knowledge sharing through symposiums and meetings, and community engagement. By uniting the diverse expertise within the Faculty of Medicine and the Geneva University Hospitals, the CR2M aims to advance fundamental and translational research in the neuromuscular field, to strengthen education on conditions leading to skeletal muscle dysfunction, and to accelerate innovation in therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
WHO WE ARE
The CR2M is led by Prof. Stéphane Armand and Prof. Perrine Castets, with the support of Dre. Maude Gerbaix and a dedicated steering commitee.
WHAT WE DO
The CR2M brings together clinicans and researchers to advance the understanding of skeletal muscle (dys)function, to improve the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders and patient care, and to enhance mobility and movement. Leveraging the diverse expertise within the Faculty of Medicine, the CR2M encompasses a broad spectrum of research on skeletal muscle and movement, including fundamental projects, translational studies, and clinical evaluations, spanning molecular to organism-level perspectives. The research employs a wide array of approaches, from in vitro experiments to in vivo investigations.
WHAT IS COMING
The CR2M regularly organizes and shares scientific events to foster exchange and collaboration around skeletal muscle and movement.
