Principal Investigator

Lab Director

Patrick Carry, PhD, MS
Assistant Professor

Patrick is a musculoskeletal epidemiologist in the Colorado Program for Musculoskeletal Research. He completed his MS and PhD in epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. His MS thesis evaluated measurements of dynamic postural stability (balance) obtained from an instrumented measurement unit (IMU) relative to the existing gold standard, optical movement analysis. His doctoral work was focused on the longitudinal analysis of metabolomic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic biomarkers. The goal of this research was to elucidate mechanisms underlying islet autoimmunity reversion to develop T1D preventative strategies. Currently, his lab uses single and multi-omics data to understand the etiology of complex MSK disease. He also collaborates with the Musculoskeletal Research Center (MRC) team at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
