Dr. Morse's career goal is to become an NIH funded independent surgeon scientist focusing on both translational and clinical research to better understand spine fusion mass biology, investigate the biomechanical impact of fusion constructs, develop new therapeutic strategies, and evaluate treatment outcomes, all of which will lead to improved patient care. He will be applying for both NIH and extramural new investigator grants for funding support of his research and to establish his laboratory. Ultimately, the goal of his lab with be to develop a better understanding of spine cellular biology and establish the role of specific vertebral skeletal stem cells to improve patient outcomes.
