    • Meet the Team

The Division of Musculoskeletal Sciences was established in October 2002 and since then we have conducted cutting-edge research that includes studies to improve understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of bone, cartilage, stem cells, and skeletal muscles at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organism levels.  

Our mission is to conduct groundbreaking research that applies multidisciplinary approaches and integrates the perspective of researchers and clinicians to improve musculoskeletal health and orthopaedic outcomes through pre-clinical and translational research programs.

Housed within the Division of Musculoskeletal Sciences is the Musculoskeletal Physiology Service Center which provides comprehensive outcome measures to assess bone and muscle structure, function, and physiology in preclinical models and training and assistance in the holistic assessment of in vivo and ex vivo musculoskeletal phenotypes. 

To learn more about our services go to our website or read about the Center's vision and mission in an article from the February 2024 edition of What's the Buzz.
