STRIDE: Specialty Training in Disability Equity
STRIDE evaluates whether interactive, case-based training can improve clinician attitudes, awareness, and behaviors related to caring for patients with disabilities. The project is designed to help clinicians recognize and respond to ableism in healthcare settings.

DREAMS: Duchenne Research, Education, and Attitudes about Sexuality and Mental Health
DREAMS is a health equity research initiative focused on mental and sexual healthcare in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The project aims to better understand experiences, unmet needs, and opportunities to improve care in areas that are often overlooked.
ECHOS: Equitable Counseling on High-risk Outcomes in Skeletal Dysplasia
This project re-examines the use of race in pediatric densitometry, including whether separate Z-score calculators are truly needed for Black children. The goal is to support a more equitable and evidence-based approach to interpreting bone density results.
VIBE Study: Sexual health knowledge, experiences, and self-efficacy in youth with disabilities
This project re-examines the use of race in pediatric densitometry, including whether separate Z-score calculators are truly needed for Black children. The goal is to support a more equitable and evidence-based approach to interpreting bone density results.
DXA: Re-evaluation of race in pediatric densitometry
This project re-examines the use of race in pediatric densitometry, including whether separate Z-score calculators are truly needed for Black children. The goal is to support a more equitable and evidence-based approach to interpreting bone density results.
Exploring the Foundations of Skeletal Health
In 2023, the Renthal Research Group published a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify genes that regulate chondrocyte proliferation and maturation, helping link growth plate biology to human height and skeletal growth. We invite you to explore our interactive data, and we hope these findings will spark new hypotheses about growth plate chondrocyte maturation and skeletal development.
