URMC Center for Musculoskeletal Research

Our Resources and Environment

The Center for Musculoskeletal Research comprises 15,000 square feet of laboratory space and contiguous office and meeting space at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Our Tools are State-of-the-art

Musculoskeletal research requires that we pursue and assimilate molecular, cellular, anatomical, and biomechanical aspects of bone health. Our labs are equipped to continue elevating our research contributions to discovery, translational, and clinical science. We lead the nation in musculoskeletal research funding in part because we are uniquely suited to answer the important question of today and tomorrow. We use our instrumentation for:

• Biomechanical Testing
• Computing
• Histology
• Imaging
