The Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health (ICMH) supports several basic and translational science research cores across the IU School of Medicine–Indianapolis campus to advance musculoskeletal research and support the musculoskeletal health research community.
Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health
Basic and Translational Science Cores
P30 Grant Cores
Administrative Core
The Administrative Core oversees, coordinates and integrates the individual basic science research cores of the Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health.
Histology and Histomorphometry Core
The Histology and Histomorphometry Core provides histological approaches to assess tissue or cell-level mechanisms in their developmental, physiological or disease models.
Musculoskeletal Mechanobiology Core
The Musculoskeletal Mechanobiology Core specializes in techniques and technology designed to reveal the biology associated with the mechanical environment of musculoskeletal tissues.
Systems Biology and Multi-Omics Core
The Systems Biology and Multi-Omics Core provides comprehensive support for musculoskeletal research by enabling genomic and metabolomic studies tailored to the unique challenges of skeletal muscle, bone, and tendon tissues.
Additional Cores
3D Bioprinting Core
The 3D Bioprinting Core provides scaffold-free bioprinting via a novel instrument that provides unprecedented versatility.
Animal Phenotyping Core
The Animal Phenotyping Core offers a suite of essential services, established protocols and scientific expertise to assess bone and muscle.
