# Training in Muscle Biology and Muscle Disease

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA · 2024 · $275,434

## Abstract

Project Summary
The muscle community at the University of Pennsylvania has established an outstanding training
program in Muscle Biology and Muscle Disease, supported in part by the T32 mechanism.
Members of the Penn community are known world-wide for excellence in muscle research, and
this program facilitates collaborative training opportunities for predoctoral students and
postdoctoral fellows. Our training program enables trainees to work in laboratories directed by
principal investigators who are leaders in the study of the cell biology, developmental biology,
physiology, and/or pathology of muscle. Although the range of interests and expertise of the
trainers on this grant is broad, the training is focused on elucidating the mechanisms of muscle
function and disease. The program is designed to take advantage of the highly collaborative
nature of the faculty, thus providing the trainees with the opportunity to integrate molecular and
physiological aspects of muscle biology into their research. This training diversity provides an
unparalleled training environment in the area of muscle biology. This is evidenced by the many
prominent scientists around the world who have trained in this field at the University of
Pennsylvania.
