Lauren Hayward’s manuscript “Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomographic Imaging of Soft Callus Formation in Fracture Healing” has been accepted for publication in the journal Microscopy Research and Technique.
Undergraduate Research Fellowships
Congratulations to Chantal deBakker and David Berry receiving Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) funding for Summer 2011! David also recently received the Lutchen Fellowship. We are excited to have them working with us in the lab.
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering manuscript published
Ginu Unnikrishnan and Elise Morgan’s manuscript “A new material mapping procedure for QCT-based, continuum finite element analyses of vertebra” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.
Four abstracts to be presented at ORS 2011
Pui Leong, Lauren Hayward, Amira Hussein and John Gallagher have all had abstracts accepted for presentation at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society in 2011.
Pui Leong awarded Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering
Pui Leong successfully defended her thesis, “Spatial Localiation of Mechanical Cues and Cellular Responses during Bone Healing In Vivo.” and has accepted a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Bone Bioengineering at Columbia University.
John Gallagher awarded M.S. in Mechanical Engineering
John Gallagher successfully defended his thesis, “Intra-Vertebral Heterogeneity in Orthotropic Elastic Properties.” and has entered the Ph.D. program in Mechanical Engineering at UCLA.
Osteoporosis International manuscript published
Nimah Nowlan’s manuscript “Smaller, weaker and less stiff bones evolve from changes in subsistence strategy” has been accepted for publication in the journal Osteoporosis International.
UROP Funding for Three Undergrads
Congratulations to Megan Sperry, David Berry and Keri Mroszyzck for receiving Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) funding for Fall 2010! We are excited to have them working in the lab.
Arthritis and Rheumatism manuscript accepted
Kristy Palomares’s manuscript “Transcriptional profiling and biochemical analysis of mechanically induced cartilaginous tissues” has been accepted for publication in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism.
NIH supplement awarded
A proposal to supplement our existing NIH award on Inducing Skeletal Repair by Mechanical Stimulation was funded this fall. This supplement will allow use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging (FT-IRIS) to characterize the microstructure and composition of the tissues formed via mechanical stimulation.
