Amira Hussein’s poster presentation “Predictions of Vertebral Strength using QCT and Intra-Vertebral Heterogeneity in Density vs. DXA” won a Presidential Poster Competition award at the recent annual meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. The award is given to junior investigators based on the “quality of their discussions [with the judges] and the data embodied in their posters.” The ASMBR meeting is attended by ~5000 US and international researchers.
Undergraduate Research Assistant Kamil Makhnejia has been awarded funding for Fall 2012 to continue research in biomechanics.
