Michael Levine, MD, receives lifetime achievement awards from both the Pediatric Endocrine Society and the Human Growth Foundation.

The research focus in the Long Lab centers on understanding how the mammalian skeleton is formed and maintained in a functional state throughout life.

Bone disorders exact a considerable toll on human health in both children and adults. Dr. Long seeks to understand the fundamental mechanisms underlying both normal skeletal development and the pathophysiology of bone diseases. His current research includes studies of skeletal stem cells and progenitors, metabolic regulation of bone cells, and the integration of bone and whole-body metabolism.
