We are unraveling the role of signaling pathways such as Wnt and hedgehog, in stem cells, during embryonic development, in tissue repair and regeneration, as well as in neoplasia.     Benjamin Alman MD, FRCPC Professor Contact information Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning The Hospital for Sick Children 686 Bay St., Ste 16-9-702 Toronto Ontario M5G 0A4 Phone: 416-813-2178 Fax: 416-813-5252 Email: benjamin.alman@sickkids.ca Research location: The Hospital for Sick Children/Research Institute Primary Research Area: Molecular & Cell Biology Secondary Research Area: Cancer Research Statement: We study how processes important in normal development are recapitulated in repair processes or dysregulated in pathologic processes involving the musculoskeletal system.

Research Interest

We study how processes important in normal development are recapitulated in repair processes or dysregulated in pathologic processes involving the musculoskeletal system. We are unraveling the role of signaling pathways such as Wnt and hedgehog, in stem cells, during embryonic development, in tissue repair and regeneration, as well as in neoplasia.
