TRITON CENTER FOR PERFORMANCE & INJURY SCIENCE
At UC San Diego’s Innovation Hub, the Triton Center for Performance and Injury Science, we focus on designing next-generation tools to acquire high-value tissue and cell samples from athletes, creating a repository of the resulting biospecimens, and translating discoveries from bioassay analysis to the clinic for the benefit of athletes and the public. This area of research has tremendous potential for innovation, translation, and commercialization.
