CCMBM Musculoskeletal Events & Opportunities
The Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology & Medicine (CCMBM) defines itself
by emphasizing musculoskeletal-specific education and services that are critical to its members but not available elsewhere in the university system.

“Being a member of the CCMBM has some great benefits. The most important aspect of the CCMBM for my research has been the seminars and symposia. These have brought together outside speakers, fellow investigators and people from my lab to share ideas. It has also opened up collaborations with investigators working with cartilage.”

– Bernard Halloran, PhD, Professor, Department of Medicine
