Muscle building: a scientific workout for Dr. Elisabeth Barton.

Abstract

Dr. Elisabeth Barton spends her lab time building muscle. But no, you won't find her there lifting weights. This Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology is working out the science of muscle repair. From the repair of muscles in the face to those in the limbs, Dr. Barton's research investigations are exploring the potential to help such diverse problems as temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and muscular dystrophy.
