@jboerckel @OrthoColumbia @ColumbiaBME @AHHuangLab @NadeenChahine Thanks for visiting, Joel!

[Dr. William Levine @BillLevineMD]

Very proud of @OrthoColumbia being ranked #4 by USNWR. Our doctors, NPs, Nurses, PTs, ATCs, scientists, administration, and staff work so hard to provide the best patient care, education and research. @MSOSOrtho @Inside_TheMatch @orthomentor1

Very excited to see my PhD work featured by @ScienceNews! @ThomopoulosLab @GuyGenin @BillLevineMD

Very excited to share our paper is now online @ScienceAdvances! Inspired by the non-tearing grip of python teeth, we developed a device that significantly enhances rotator cuff repair. Huge thanks to all coauthors! @ThomopoulosLab @GuyGenin @BillLevineMD

A new device created in the lab of Dr. Stavros Thomopoulos mimics the gripping power of python teeth to strengthen rotator cuff repairs  💪

In a new paper published today in @ScienceAdvances, the team reported that utilizing the device almost doubled tendon-to-bone repair strength, reducing the risk of tendon tear post-surgery.

Meet @LAForresterMD! ⭐️

"At many other programs, you're often placed in a lab position or clinical research position without being given much autonomy or choice over what you will research. At Columbia #Orthopedics, you're given mentoring support."

A research team led by @ColumbiaBME @thehunglab and @NadeenChahine has been awarded nearly a $39 million contract from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (@ARPA_H) to build living knee replacements from biomaterials and human stem cells, including a patient’s own cells.

In collaboration with @ColumbiaMed, the award will support more than two decades of collaborative musculoskeletal research at Columbia, providing a transformative solution for millions of people in the U.S. suffering from osteoarthritis.

📣Congratulations!
