Welcome to the SYBIL (Systems biology for the functional validation of genetic determinants of skeletal diseases) project, a five year project funded by the European Commission.

The overall concept of this large-scale collaborative project is to functionally validate genetic determinants of common and rare skeletal diseases to gain a mechanistic understanding of disease processes and age-related changes and to deliver new and validated therapeutic targets. SYBIL brings together a complementary translational and transnational group of world-class scientists, systems biologists, disease modellers, information technologists and industrialists that will achieve critical mass to deliver the ambitious objectives of this programme of research.
