Welcome to the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory

The orthopaedic research laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania was established in 1960. In 1979, the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory officially opened, establishing all of the orthopaedic laboratories in the same physical location. Current active laboratories include cell and molecular biology, cell and tissue culture, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomechanics, biophysics, and histology, all of which are dedicated to musculoskeletal research. This thriving, multidisciplinary facility is directed by Dr. Lou Soslowsky.
