Dr. Karin Payne and Dr. Stephanie Bryant received a four-year NSF Collaborative Research Award entitled: “RECODE: Organoid model of growth plate injury”. This a multidisciplinary award across the CU Anschutz and CU Boulder campuses that includes Co-PIs Dr. Robert McLeod, Dr. Franck Vernerey and Dr. Michael Zuscik. The overarching goal for this project is to gain fundamental insight into the link between biophysical cues, cellular differentiation, and cellular organization that leads to the development of a functioning growth plate.
