UCLA Regenerative Musculoskeletal Medicine Training Program

We’re currently making changes and improvements to this team page. Please check back for updates.

The UCLA faculty for this training program are listed below along with their respective areas of research concentration and intellectual excellence. Trainees working with these faculty are not limited to these thematic groups nor are trainees limited to these faculty. The training program is dynamic and benefits from the incorporation of additional members, thus, potential faculty are urged to contact one of the Training Program Directors, John S. Adams or Karen M. Lyons, for more information.
