Basic Science Trainees in the Wellstone Center

The Iowa Wellstone Center originated with a collaboration among the Center investigators, which pre-dates NIH funding. In 1997, Drs. Campbell, Moore and Mathews began regular meetings to review biopsies. Basic science trainees in the Campbell Laboratory joined these meetings, with discussions about biopsy findings and unusual clinical cases often sparking new research directions. With Dr. Campbell’s mentorship, research conducted by graduate student and postdoctoral trainees is making a significant contribution to our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of diverse muscular dystrophies.

Prospective postdoctoral trainees should e-mail a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and names of three references to Dr. Kevin Campbell.
