Events at the Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health

James McGrath, professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Rochester, will be presenting his seminar “Modeling Inflammatory Injury and Repair with the µSiM Tissue Chip Platform: Case Studies in Tendon Fibrovascular Scarring and Blood–Brain Barrier Disruption During a Cytokine Storm” hosted by the Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health (ICMH).

Data Meetings allow researchers to present ongoing work, receive constructive feedback, gather comments, and address roadblocks, fostering collaboration and enhancing the quality and progress of their research projects.

The Lifestyle Modification Team’s research focuses on exercise, nutritional, and behavioral modifications that impact musculoskeletal health, physical function, and mobility. The goals of this research is to better understand how musculoskeletal health and physical function affect the overall health of the population and how chronic diseases impact musculoskeletal health.

Biweekly meetings where students and postdocs present and critically evaluate recent publications, fostering discussion and improving analytical skills.

The Metabolic Bone Disease research team, formally known as the MMAP team will meet every third Wednesday. Topics range from CKD mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), to clinical work on HRqCT, to aging and GLP-1 use. The group has been ongoing for a number of years focused on CKD-but welcomes newcomers! The format is one lab presents for 30-40 minutes and then open discussion about collaborations and techniques.

As part of the Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health (ICMH) visiting speaker exchange program, Kelly Wentworth, MD, assistant professor at University of California School of Medicine (UCSF), will be presenting a seminar (title to be determined).

Wentworth’s research focuses on understanding the role of Gs-protein coupled receptor signaling in skeletal development, with a focused interest in craniofacial fibrous dysplasia of the bone (FD) and McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS).

Monthly meetings where the Trauma, Regeneration, and Rehabilitation research team present updates on their research focusing on developing patient-specific interventions.
