LEGENDARE is a program funded by the ERC Advanced Grant No. 101021500, aimed at using genomics for preventing and managing human skeletal fragility and associated
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.

Tarsila de Moura Figueiredo
PhD Researcher
I am Tarsila de Moura Figueiredo. I obtained my diploma in Dentistry from the University of Brasília, Brazil, and specialized in Periodontology at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Currently, I am finishing a Master’s degree in Health Sciences, Major in Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology, at Erasmus MC, the Netherlands. In September 2023 I started working as a PhD at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Erasmus MC.
- Favorite
My hobby is playing the flute. I played in the military band of my school in Brazil for most of my childhood. After university, I have been too busy to play it regularly. But, I still enjoy playing it. I also enjoy watercolor and doing crafts, such as macramé.
