"Producing meaningful clinical research is intrinsic to the mission of an academic pediatric orthopedic service. The renowned clinical laboratory at Columbia Orthopedics has provided leadership in a number of important areas and continues to spearhead investigations that have significantly impacted patient care. The continuing mission of productive clinical research cannot be accomplished without the energy, intelligence, and continuity provided by our research fellows, the next generation of leaders," Dr. David Roye, Emeritus St. Giles Professor of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery.
