Mike Rogalski, the tallest Mike the lab has ever had and December 2021 graduate, recently landed an awesome job with Apple in Cupertino, California! “In August, I started working at Apple as a Product Design FEA engineer in the iPhone and accessories team. I will be responsible for performing component and system level simulations to […]
Congratulations to Sam on a recent publication! This project aimed to describe misoprostol pharmacokinetics and anti-inflammatory efficacy when administered orally or per rectum in endotoxin-challenged horses. Specifically, Sam did all the qPCR stuff for this paper, checking to see if the drugs changed gene expression of certain cytokines. See the section of the methods entitled […]
Sony Manandhar, who graduated from the lab in December 2021 and dreamed of working for an orthopedics company, has a job working with Zimmer Biomet in Warsaw, Indiana. Words from the double MS degreed woman herself, “I am a Research Engineer in the New Product Introduction team at Zimmer Biomet. In this position, I am […]
Kellie Halloran, the labs’ first multi-year-undergrad-researcher turned grad student, recently deposited her MS thesis entitled “Propulsion kinetics of recumbent hand cycling during high and moderate intensity exercise”. Kellie is continuing on in the lab to pursue a PhD. The abstract from her thesis is below, along with one of the amazing figures in the document. […]
Roberto, Sara, Mariana and Elahe recently returned from the SB3C annual conference in Cambridge, Maryland, where Roberto and Sara both gave podium presentations. Roberto presented his talk entitled “Effect of Mechanical Loading on the Microstructure and Diffusion Imaging Properties of Ligament-Mimicking Fibers” which highlights the need for structure-function relationship that relate DTI metrics to mechanical […]
Congratulations to the leader of TBL, Prof. Mariana Kersh, on being named as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering! She will serve until 2025. The lab group is very proud of you!
Recent PhD graduate, Chenxi Yan, and co-authors recently published a portion of his PhD work in Bone. This paper analyzed strain distribution in the tibia during multi-directional basketball activities and found that sprinting and lateral cut maneuvers generate the highest strains in the tibia. A figure from this paper is featured as the volume cover […]
Congratulations to Griffin Sipes on receiving a 2022 NSF GRFP award! The lab is very proud of you. For his application, Griffin proposed using Deeplabcut to determine the real world loading conditions of manual wheelchair propulsion and then to use them to develop a relationship between fatigue failure rate and anisotropy of collagen fibers in the […]
Alex Teague recently passed his Step 1 medical exam! Congratulations from the entire TBL lab group. Here’s a little bit about what he has been working on: “I am working to predict bone growth in a skeletally immature foal model as a function of the mechanical loads they experience during gait. To date, I developed […]
