Project title
"Application of single-cell approaches to investigate the developmental origin and early transformation steps of osteosarcoma"

Osteosarcoma is the most common bone tumor and primarily affects children and adolescents. Unfortunately, treatment approaches and outcomes for osteosarcoma patients have not significantly improved for 40 years. Dr. Morrow’s work is focused on understanding normal bone development and how this development goes awry, giving rise to osteosarcoma. He hopes this improved understanding will lead to new treatment approaches for pediatric osteosarcoma patients. Dr. Morrow received his MD and PhD from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland and his BS from The Pennsylvania State University, State College.
