Ohio State - Nationwide Children's Hospital - Research For Muscle Biology and Disease
 

FACULTY RESEARCH

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.
