Dr. Nikkel’s research is focused on individuals with skeletal dysplasias and short stature conditions. Since gene discoveries have improved our understanding of this group of conditions and there are now available pharmacotherapies—with more in development—Dr. Nikkel aims to work with industry partners to investigate how these therapies may benefit children and youth with skeletal dysplasia.
