The February Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting was an eventful one for CMSR: Alayna Loiselle, PhD, received the Adele L. Boskey PhD Award, given to mid-career researchers who have made significant contributions in mentoring young researchers in orthopaedics, musculoskeletal science, and engineering; and three early-career investigators earned recognition for their presentations.
Out of 41 finalists, Rahul Alenchery, PhD, and Himanshu Meghwani, PhD, were two of the ten who received New Investigator Recognition Awards (NIRA), and Emmanuela Adjei-Sowah received a Podium Award. They shared their work with fellow researchers, post-doctoral students, and physician-researchers at the meeting in Long Beach, California.

New NIH-funded center could soon reduce the need for pharmaceutical trials on animals
Tuesday, January 9, 2024
Through funding from a National Institutes of Health grant, Rochester—in partnership with Duke University—will house the Translational Center for Barrier Microphysiological Systems, a new national center focused on using tissue-on-chip technology to develop drugs more rapidly and reduce the need for animal trials. The center aims to develop five Food and Drug Administration–qualified drug development tools related to studying barrier functions in disease—interfaces in tissue that are critical for the progression of infection, cancer, and many autoimmune disorders.
