The Arthritis Web Seminar Series is a medium for live and recorded webinars from world leading experts in the field of bone and joint-related pathologies and rheumatic diseases. The seminar series started on May 19, 2020 and is co-chaired by Dr. Mohit Kapoor and Dr. Robert Inman, Co-Directors of the Schroeder Arthritis Institute, University Health Network, Toronto, Canada. The current catalogue of lectures will feature some of the latest insights and advancements in osteoarthritis pathogenesis, disease mechanisms, biomarkers, phenotyping, and therapeutic targets.
