Dan Hoffman, MS, a PhD candidate in Kinesiology and member of the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), was selected to give a talk during the Regeneration of the neuromuscular and myotendinous junctions section of the FASEB Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells and Regeneration Conference held in New Orleans, Louisiana July 24–29, 2022. 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.

Hoffman’s work, “Neuromuscular Junction and Terminal Schwann Cell Response to Traumatic Muscle Injury” will be presented both as a talk and poster during the meeting. The work was co-authored by past members of SMPRL Jacob Sorensen, PhD and Alec Basten, as well as current members Christiana Raymond-Pope, PhD and Sarah Greising, PhD.
