Projects 2025
Since 2000, the Fondation Yves Cotrel has funded 85 research projects worldwide. Although carried out in different disciplines, they all have the same aim: to identify the causes and understand the mechanisms of evolution of idiopathic scoliosis. Basic science projects on degenerative scoliosis are also accepted, as are those aimed at defining the phenotype of idiopathic scoliosis.
