Welcome to Soslowsky Laboratory

The overall goals of our research program are to determine fundamental relationships and mechanisms of tendon and ligament injury, healing, repair, and regeneration and to use this information to develop and evaluate potential treatment modalities.

Our primary research areas include:
  1. Tendon structure-function in development and healing
  2. Achilles Tendinopathy
  3. Rotator Cuff Injury and Joint Damage
Our Environment

The Soslowsky Laboratory strives to create and maintain an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming community. Innovation is spurred by bringing together different backgrounds and perspectives. To reap the benefits of diversity, team members must feel empowered to use their voice. Thus, it is our mission to provide equal opportunities for people of all identities. Through initiatives within our lab and in the broader scientific community, we aim to cultivate a diverse environment in which everyone is welcomed, included, and empowered. Welcome to the Soslowsky Lab!

Statement Against Hate

Colleges across the country are experiencing disturbing acts of hate on their campuses. We are shocked and saddened by the recent events on our own campus, and we recognize that many members of our community are deeply affected. Moreover, the rise in antisemitism and islamophobia fuels hate of all kinds, affecting every one of us. The Soslowsky Lab vehemently condemns these acts and pledges to speak out against all forms of hate. We strive to respect people with differing ideas, experiences, and backgrounds to create a welcoming community.

Congratulations to Maggie and Dr. Soslowsky on their collaborative manuscript "Learning on a Limb: An outreach module to engage high school students in Orthopaedics" being accepted for publication in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research!

This paper was written with other Mckay faculty and trainees. Learning on a Limb is an outreach module that teaches high school students about orthopaedic research. We hope that this program can help with empowering institutions to host similar programs to inspire diverse high school students and strengthen community within orthopaedic departments to ultimately enhance orthopaedic research innovations.
