CDMD's Muscle Cell Biology, Pathophysiology, and Therapeutics program

Muscle cell biology is an area of exciting growth in translational medicine.

Translational research in the muscular dystrophies is expanding, as academic and industry partnerships yield new potential treatments that are currently being assessed in clinics around the world.

The Muscle Cell Biology, Pathophysiology, and Therapeutics program is capitalizing on the momentum that arose from this explosion of translational research.

About Our Training Program

A lecturer stands at the far end of a lecture hall. Engaged students look ahead at a project screen.

We provide a rich training environment for the next generation of predoctoral students as well as postdoctoral and clinical fellows by leveraging community and industry support, institutional investment, infrastructure, and a critical mass of researchers and clinicians with extensive experience in muscle biology and muscular dystrophy.
