In 2011 our Muscle Group expanded to 27 laboratories
that are part of The Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s
Hospital. These laboratories
span over a wide range of Schools, Colleges, Departments, and Divisions that
highlight the diversity of muscle research being performed within our respective
institutions.
