Training Opportunities

The MDCRC supports the training and mentoring of two junior scientists in the science and clinical investigation of muscle disease. In addition to research training, trainees participate in journal clubs, seminars, symposia, courses, and bioethics training at their home institutions.  For questions related to MDCRC training slots, please contact Dr. E.
