Core Announcements 

Billing changes for external customers- effective July 1, 2021,  

Washington Universityin St. Louis is making a change to the Accounts Receivable. The University is standardizing its invoicing process and centralizing the receipt of all customer payments. As a result, beginning July 1, 2021, you will begin receiving invoices from Washington University with a new look.  You will no longer receive invoices emailed from iLab.  The new WU invoices include a Customer ID and a Customer Invoice number. Additionally, the invoices will provide new payment instructions, including the University’s banking information. For all Washington University invoices dated 07/01/2021 or later, please take the following actions:

1.Submit payments using the payment instructions on your WU generated invoice.

2.Include the invoice number(s) being paid on the check memo or ACH memo field.  It is also recommended that you include the Customer ID for additional account verification.

Overview of Services

Washington University has a long record of excellence in musculoskeletal research and clinical care.  The MRC Research Base has 75 members who have over 49 million dollars of annual research support (direct costs). The goals of the Center are to enhance the productivity of established musculoskeletal scientists, to support young investigators in our field and to facilitate collaboration between established skeletal scientists and those bringing non-traditional questions and strategies to our discipline. The major programmatic focus of the MRC will be to support and expedite the creation and analysis of animal models of relevance to musculoskeletal biology and disease. Our basic and translational research efforts will be directed toward an understanding of musculoskeletal biology at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels with the goal that such studies will directly impact our understanding of the pathophysiology of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, muscular dystrophy, osteochondrodysplasias as well as regeneration of bone, cartilage, tendon and muscle.
