Bone Morphogenetic Proteins
The BMRG has more than a decade of experience studying the BMP signaling pathway. Current projects include examining the role of BMPs in skeletal development, bone remodeling, and fracture healing.
Manual Therapy in Osteosarcopenia
In collaboration with physical therapists, massage therapists, and osteopathic physicians, the BMRG is examining whether soft tissue manipulation may be used as a non-invasive therapy for age-related loss of bone and muscle mass.
Neuromedin-U in skeletal homeostasis
Science sometimes leads us to unexpected places. That's how we began studying the role of a brain-expressed neuropeptide in skeletal homeostasis. Current projects examine how Neuromedin-U (NMU) controls the formation of bone-building cells and seeks to better understand the role this protein plays in the attainment of peak bone mass.
Innovation in project-based STEM education
We are educators at heart. That's why the BMRG applies best-practices in intentional mentorship and includes students at every level of project development. We also lead STEM education scholarship to new areas through projects in inter-professional education, healthcare perceptions, and enablers/barriers of research involvment by students.
