Our goal is to discover the the mechanisms of muscle function, muscle disease and motile biological systems through innovative and cross-disciplinary research, and to apply these discoveries to new therapies.<\/p>\n

We aim to develop state-of-the art technologies for the study of muscle and motile systems, while providing education and training in muscle biology and motility to scientists, physicians, and students.<\/p>\n

Research is conducted using biophysics, biochemistry, genetics, physiology and ultrastructure to understand: cell migration and intracellular transport; molecular motors; cell division; muscle contraction and development; muscle pathologies and therapies targeted to muscle disease.<\/p>\n

The PMI is prominent in technological and methodological development for these investigations especially in advanced light microscopy, structural spectroscopy, nanotechnology, biochemical kinetics, image processing, molecular biology, and viral gene targeting.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1756864974444{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #F8F8F8 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1543061849576{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Erika Holzbaur, Ph.D.” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_custom_heading text=”PMI Director” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” el_class=”contact-title”][vc_column_text css=””]638A Rubenstein Research Building (RRB)
