About the Paul and Sheila Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Center
In April 2003, the Paul and Sheila Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Center (MD Center) was created to facilitate development of clinical, translational, and basic research on muscular dystrophy, to enhance and support clinical care of patients with muscular dystrophy, to improve educational experience for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students interested in the fields of basic and clinical muscle research, and to increase interaction and support from the regional community of patients and families concerned about muscular dystrophy.
 
Facts about the MD Center
  • The MD Center has become a premier site for trainees interested in neuromuscular disease. 
  • The MDCenter has the largest NIH T32 training program in the country for muscle research, supporting predoctoral, postdoctoral, and both clinical and basic trainees.
