Michael N. Wosczyna

Michael N. Wosczyna, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. His research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tissue maintenance, regeneration, and aging, particularly in skeletal muscle contexts. He earned his PhD from the University of Connecticut and completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University School of Medicine under the Rando Group, supported by the Glenn Center for Biology of Aging.

• Current Position: Assistant Professor, NYU Grossman School of Medicine
• Education: PhD, University of Connecticut
• Training: Fellowship at Stanford University School of Medicine

Dr. Wosczyna's work investigates how mesenchymal stromal cells and β-catenin signaling regulate muscle regeneration and aging-related degeneration. His team developed machine learning techniques to analyze cellular senescence and explored miRNA-based interventions to prevent adipogenic conversion of muscle stem cells.

He is affiliated with the Vilcek Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, Kimmel Center for Stem Cell Biology, and Musculoskeletal Research Center/Bioengineering Institute at NYU Langone Health. His lab website provides further details on their methodologies and findings.
