Martha Murray, associate professor of orthopedic surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital; Aaron Baggish, assistant professor of medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital; Gary Strangman, associate professor of psychology at Mass General; and Kun Ping Lu, professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, are leading pilot studies.
