The GEMSTONE COST Action unites experts across Europe to translate genomic breakthroughs in musculoskeletal research into clinical applications. By tackling mobility loss — a key
Gene: Basic unit of inheritance passed from parent to child
Craft: Skill and experience
GeneCraft.nl comprises the expertise and experience of the Genomics Medicine team at the Department of Internal Medicine in Erasmus MC. Our group is committed to transforming genomic discoveries into tangible clinical solutions for individuals vulnerable to common complex disorders with emphasis on the musculoskeletal system.
Lines of research
Translational Genomics
Translational Genomics, where cutting-edge genetic research meets practical healthcare solutions. Our focus includes personalized treatments, genomics-assisted decision-making, and integrating clinical and population-based studies. We aim to improve patient outcomes, enhance disease understanding, and develop targeted interventions.
Deep (musculo) skeletal phenotyping
Our research enhances musculoskeletal health by analyzing bone density, body composition, muscle strength, and spinal alignment. We improve fracture risk prediction and develop interventions through advanced analytical tools, including machine learning, applied to Big Data from population and patient cohorts, integrating genetics, environment, and lifestyle for better health outcomes.

Samuel Ghatan
PhD Researcher
I graduated with a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Liverpool and went on to obtain a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from King’s College London, specializing in psychiatric genetics. My M.Sc. project focused on using genetics to infer a causal relationship between bone fragility and Alzheimer’s disease.
