By Bob Howard | Updated on August 11, 2003

LOS ANGELES-Orthopaedic Hospital of Los Angeles and UCLA have broken ground on a 95,000-sf basic science research facility on the university’s Westwood campus that will focus on the care of orthopaedic disorders through musculoskeletal research.

Designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, the center will be home to collaboration between researchers from Orthopaedic Hospital and UCLA, housing basic science and clinical research programs in the fields of biochemistry, molecular genetics, molecular, cell and developmental biology, and biological chemistry. All of those fields, the joint developers of the project point out, have special relevance to musculoskeletal problems in children and adults, which is the focus of Orthopaedic Hospital’s efforts.

James V. Luck, Jr., president, CEO and medical director of Orthopaedic Hospital, says the new center will foster increased collaboration between the hospital and UCLA researchers. One of the missions of the center will be research oriented toward new therapies for crippling birth defects and other disorders treated by Orthopaedic Hospital.
