UPMC - PITT Orthopaedic Care Shines at ORS Annual Meeting

The 2025 Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) Annual Meeting was a great success for our department, with significant contributions from our various labs, including BMRC core labs. Our UPMC-PITT team presented 55 abstracts in total, including 11 podium presentations and 39 research posters, highlighting the depth and breadth of our ongoing work in musculoskeletal research and innovation.

A key highlight of the meeting was the BMRC’s recognition of its inaugural class of Bethel Fellows during the ORS Award Recipient session on Sunday, February 9. Thank you to ORS for their continued partnership in supporting the BMRC/ORS Fellowship grants.

Dr. Kurt Weiss served as co-director of the 2025 Art of Grant Writing course, providing valuable insights to attendees looking to secure research funding.

Beyond the presentations and awards, we were grateful for the opportunity to connect with colleagues, peers, and fellow scientists from around the world.
