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.

“As a member of the CCMBM, I had the opportunity to apply for a RAP feasibility grant funded by CCMBM. This is a great opportunity for young researchers interested in Musculoskeletal research. I was also paired with an experienced researcher who helped review my grant proposal. This was a resource I would not have had without CCMBM.”

Ramya Srinivasan, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging
