The Musculoskeletal Research Focus Area at NEOMED promotes the health and understanding of musculoskeletal biology. We investigate the origins of musculoskeletal form to understand how performance influences disease and evolution. Our research spans different levels of organization ― from molecules to organisms ― to provide an integrative and inclusive view of muscle, bone and cartilage.
Noah Dunham, Ph.D., of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo discusses the importance of musculoskeletal research, including a study on primate jumping with NEOMED’s Jesse Young, Ph.D.
Researchers within this area have a multi-level understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy, function and pathology.
Dr. Hans Thewissen, the Ingalls-Brown Professor of Anatomy and a Distinguished University Professor, discusses research suggesting southern right whales may live up to 150 years, nearly twice as long as
The Musculoskeletal Research Focus Area (MRFA) primarily studies bone, muscles and cartilage as they change in response to aging, movement and disease. This group of eight researchers, soon to be
It doesn’t happen often. In fact, it has only happened twice in the nearly 50 years of NEOMED’s history. So, take a minute to congratulate J.G.M. (“Hans”) Thewissen, Ph.D., Ingalls-Brown Professor of Anatomy: At Commencement May 6, President Langell recognized his promotion to Distinguished University Professor, as recently approved by the Board of Trustees.
