Sarah M. Greising, PhD, associate professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), attended and presented research at the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) Annual Meeting. The meeting was held in Long Beach, CA, over February 2-6, 2024. The primary goal of this meeting is accelerating musculoskeletal discovery. Dr. Greising presented a poster titled, “In Sequence Anti-fibrotic Treatment And Rehabilitation For Volumetric Muscle Loss Injury.” Contributions to the work included lab member and current medical student Peter Nicholson and other members of the lab Christiana Raymond-Pope, PhD, and Thomas Lillquist, MS, as well as collaborator Jarrod Call, PhD, from the University of Georgia.
Additionally, Dr. Greising, in collaboration with her fellow member of the ORS Women’s Leadership Forum, organized and participated in a career development session titled, “Pearls for navigating career transitions, across career stages”. Collectively, all sessions supported by the Women’s Leadership Forum are developed to mentor, foster, encourage, and inspire women in orthopaedic research at all stages of their career, and to advise and support women on career and leadership opportunities in orthopaedic-related organizations.
