Congratulations to Dr. Paola Divieti Pajevic for Winning a CTSI Integrated Pilot Grant Award!

Dr. Paola Divieti Pajevic, Associate Professor of Translational Dental Medicine in BUSDM and prominent member of CMTM, has been named an Integrated Pilot Grant Awardee by the Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI) at BU.  Her project, PTH/PTHrP Receptor Signaling in Osteocytes during Aging, is focused on studying the effects of hormones, such as parathyroid hormone, and mechanical forces, on bone and teeth.  Dr. Divieti Pajevic will use a combination of genetically modified mice and cell lines to investigate if PTH signaling in osteocytes alters skeletal progenitors and protects these cells from senescence. 

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Divieti Pajevic for this honor!
