If you would like more information about the Mizzou Musculoskeletal Research Training Program, please contact Dr. Dana Duren or Dr. Bree Baker.
The Mizzou Musculoskeletal Research Training Program is a collaboration among the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, and Physical Therapy. The primary objective of the postdoctoral training program is to expand and enhance the biomedical scientist workforce to accelerate discoveries and breakthroughs positively influencing outcomes for millions of individuals suffering disorders of bone, muscles, and joints. The program is led by Dr. Dana Duren (Director), Drs. James Cook and Richard Sherwood (Co-Directors), and Dr. Lisa Royse (Coordinator).
