Cores

The Nationwide Children's Hospital Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Specialized Research Center contains the Cores that support its mission.

Training Core

The Wellstone Training Core (Dr. Harper, Director; Dr. Rafael-Fortney, Associate Director) is centered around the annual Nationwide Children’s/OSU Myology Course, which is provided at no cost to trainees. It currently accepts 70 trainees per year (half clinically based and half lab-based) for an intensive one-week course that includes joint morning lectures followed by afternoon wet lab electives (for PhD trainees) or clinical training (for MDs). To date, more than 770 trainees have attended this course, with many continuing to high profile positions in muscle research. In this Core, we will build upon these successes in order to recruit, train and retain more young investigators in the field of muscular dystrophy research.

Children with Prune Belly Syndrome often require care from many specialists. Our dedicated PBS Clinic allows families to access many of these services in a coordinated setting rather than scheduling multiple appointments across different locations.

Our Research

Research is at the heart of what makes the Prune Belly Syndrome Program unique. Led by Linda Baker, MD, researchers at the Kidney and Urinary Tract Center are conducting one of the only NIH-funded PBS research programs in the United States.
