Sarah M. Greising, PhD, associate professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), presented at the  FASEB Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells and Regeneration Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana July 24–29, 2022. Greising was invited to present a talk entitled “Mitochondrial dysfunction and associated whole-body metabolism in an injury that lacks regeneration” at the conference within the Muscle Stem Cell Niche and Cell Signaling session. The conference aims to accelerate the translation of fundamental advances into novel clinical treatments through the interactions of basic and clinical researchers. It provides opportunities for interaction and mentoring between junior scientists and senior investigators to foster career development.
