Spinal Research and Education Foundation
The purpose of the SREF is to foster and conduct research in the area of scoliosis and other spinal disorders and to promote and conduct education and training of physicians in the United States as well as in developed and developing countries throughout the world.
Research is a pursuit that is the backbone to improvements in care that lead to better outcomes, less complications, safer treatment, and quicker recoveries. Dr. Lonner and his team of researchers led by Yuan Ren, PhD devote their intellectual energies and a great deal of time and money to explore research questions to improve the lives of individuals with scoliosis requiring treatment. They have contributed to hundreds of research studies and have led numerous prospective studies and have published nearly 120 studies that influence the treatment of scoliosis globally. Our team relies on your contributions to allow us to continue our research.
