Faculty Recruitment to Musculoskeletal Research Consortium

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案的目的是为密歇根大学的肌肉骨骼研究联盟项目招聘两名教员。新的教员将是一个创新的多学科项目的一部分，该项目专注于肌腱、韧带和骨骼之间的接口。这个界面对于正常的关节功能是至关重要的，然而，大量的患者受到伤害或障碍，无法愈合或概括这个界面的背景。这一领域的进展一直很缓慢。这两位教师和生物工程师将组成一个由临床医生、生物学家和生物工程师组成的“梦之队”，以推动这一再生和修复领域的发展。重要的是，该计划将大大增强我们解决这一问题的能力 这是一个重要的临床翻译领域，同时还提供必要的指导和资源，以支持他们的个人成长。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to recruit two faculty members to the Musculoskeletal Research Consortium program at the University of Michigan. The new faculty will be part of an innovative multidisciplinary program focused on the interface between tendon, ligament and bone. This interface is critical for normal joint function, yet a huge number of patients suffer injuries or disorders that fail to heal or recapitulate the context of this interface. Progress has been slow in this field. These two faculty, along with bioengineers will create the "dream team" composed of clinicians, biologists and bioengineers needed to advance this field of regeneration and repair. Importantly, the program will substantially enhance our ability to address this important clinical translational field while also providing the necessary mentorship and resources to support their individual growth.
