16 Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research. Institute researchers will work side by side with basic science faculty from the departments of biological chemistry; microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics; and molecular, cell and developmental biology. Research will include programs in cancer, bone and cartilage disorders, drug-resistant infections, severe combined immunodeficient diseases, diabetes, lupus, rejection syndromes associated with solid organ transplantation and more. The UCLA and Orthopædic Hospital Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, ranked No. 9 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, operates Centers of Excellence in joint replacement, sports medicine, hand and microsurgery, spine disorders, musculoskeletal oncology, musculoskeletal trauma, pediatric orthopaedics and osteoporosis. The department provides consultation and treatment for patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system and comprehensive services for orthopaedic specialties, including joint replacement and reconstructive surgery, hand and microvascular surgery, sports medicine, arthroscopy, foot and ankle surgery, pediatric orthopaedics, spinal diseases, orthopaedic trauma, orthopaedic oncology and metabolic bone disease. A UCLA researcher and Dr. John S. Adams address visitors at the Orthopædic Hospital Research Center grand opening. research “The main benefit of this new research facility is that it brings together a lot of expertise — a great deal of intellectual capacity from UCLA and Orthopædic Hospital and a lot of experience in understanding both basic biology and the transition to clinical care. So by bringing this facility online, these people will be close together. They’ll be able to talk to one another on a routine basis, share ideas and cross-fertilize. So if someone finds a solution to one problem, it might be applied to another. Or if someone has a problem and they’ve not been able to solve it, maybe someone else will find that answer.” — Paul Benya, PhD Adjunct Professor, UCLA and Orthopædic Hospital Department of Orthopaedic Surgery “Buildings are very much like musical instruments. They really cannot utter a sound until they are picked up and played by human beings. Today we hand this beautiful instrument to the scientists and the people who will use it. We’re extremely proud to have played some role in the breakthroughs and the science that will be undertaken.” — Fred W. Clarke, FAIA Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects “My hips dislocated. I can’t bend my legs. I can’t reach my toes or wave my arms over my head. What everyone can to do with ease on a day-to-day basis — combing their hair or putting on their shoes — is really difficult in my situation. I am just in awe of the doctors at Orthopædic Hospital. I owe my life to them, not just for what they’ve already done, but also for what they are going to do with the opening of this research center. Maybe it will help me and maybe it won’t. But it will give a lot of hope to other kids in the future. Maybe they won’t have to go through what I’ve had to go through and it will make life a little easier for them.” — Melissa Sanchez Orthopædic Hospital patient
esearch John S. Adams, MD, the new vice chair of research at the Orthopædic Hospital Research Center, addresses members of the President’s Circle during their visit to the facility on the UCLA campus June 21, 2007. Vice Chair for Research Envisions Multidisciplinary Breakthroughs John S. Adams, MD, the newly appointed vice chair for research for the new Orthopædic Hospital Research Center on the UCLA campus, aims to bring multidisciplinary teams of scientists and clinicians together to discover novel ways to diminish the pain and suffering caused by orthopaedic conditions and to perhaps even find cures. A respected researcher and industry leader, Dr. Adams oversees the world’s largest musculoskeletal research center. Scientists from both Orthopædic Hospital and UCLA will focus on the tools of cellular and molecular biology and genetics to develop revolutionary advances in the treatment of orthopaedic-related conditions, including hemophilia, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, joint replacement and osteoporosis. “Dr. Adams represents the pinnacle of leadership and knowledge in the research field of musculoskeletal diseases,” said James V. Luck Jr., MD, president, CEO and medical director of Orthopædic Hospital. “He will bring together the best scientists and physicians in the world to develop innovative cures for centuries-old crippling diseases. Cures could be a reality in our lifetime.” Previously, Dr. Adams was director of the division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and holder of the Alfred Jay Firestein Chair in Endocrinol- 17
