CCMBM Cores:
Featured Services
The Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology & Medicine (CCMBM) defines itself
by emphasizing musculoskeletal-specific education and services that are critical to its members but not available elsewhere in the university system.

“As a longtime member of the CCMBM and Orthopaedic Surgeon Investigator interested in musculoskeletal research, the Center has helped me significantly with networking through the Imaging Core. With the support of the CCMBM, I was able to complete publications and related analyses. As a result, I was awarded a $50,000 Seed Grant and am primed for NIH funding.”
-- Alan Zhang, MD, Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCSF, Director of UCSF Sports Medicine Fellowship Program and the Hip Preservation Center.

Interested in exploring relationships between muscle size, fat distribution, and bone structure? The Imaging Core supports Soft Tissue Analysis (STA) on High Resolution peripheral Quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) scan data. STA is a technique for automated segmentation and analysis of muscle and fat within CT data. The Imaging Core can help analyze existing data or design a new study to evaluate soft tissue and bone parameters. Contact Galateia Kazakia, Imaging Core Co-Director, for more information.

September 28, 4:00pm; Virtual Event
Jason Daniel Buenrostro, PhD, Assistant Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, Harvard University
Single-cell Epigenomics: Gene regulation at unprecedented resolution
Hosted by Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program
---
September 28, 6:00pm; InterContinental Hotel, San Francisco
Learn new and evolving concepts in trauma and fracture management through didactic lectures, case presentations, and hands-on practice with the latest implants from international leaders in the field of orthopaedic traumatology. This course is of substantial value in the preparation for board and recertification examinations.
Hosted by Orthopaedic Trauma Institute

September 28, 6:00pm; Virtual Event
This session will present the latest understanding of atypical femoral fracture management, including pathological mechanisms, surgical strategies, and future research directions. Atypical femoral fractures provide us with a continual challenge in orthopedics. These fractures have both mechanical and biological issues which until recently were poorly recognized, yet complications remain common. Registration required.
Hosted by ORS International Fracture Repair Section and Orthopaedic Trauma Association

The Program for Breakthrough Biomedical Research (PBBR) seeks to stimulate and support highly innovative basic science research at UCSF. The focus is on basic science projects of potentially high impact that are creative, risky, and transformative. We seek novel ideas for basic science projects that go beyond those that receive funding from NIH and other traditional funding mechanisms.
Proposal deadline: Friday November 4th, 2022 5:00 pm PDT
NFR - New Frontier Research - $25,000 - $150,000 for one year
• Supports basic science research projects at levels of risk and innovation that substantially exceed those
supported by NIH; multiple awards annually
• Both single-PI and multiple-PI applications are welcomed
TMC - Technologies, Methodologies & Cores - $50,000 - $500,000 for one year in matching funds
• Strong emphasis on invention and development of new technologies, methodologies, and/or establishment of
technology cores and acquisition of shared instruments; multiple awards annually
• Both single-PI and multiple-PI applications are welcomed
Please send inquiries to Linda Reilly, PBBR Program Manager.
