Mechanobiology of Palatal Shelf Elevation
High-Resolution in utero MRI and finite element models to study mechanics of palatal shelf elevation and closure. Do mechanics promote/inhibit elevation?
MRI-Based Joint Modeling Research
We are using MRI and computer modeling to study in vivo joint mechanics in the hand and wrist. Current studies focus on the basal joint of the thumb.
Equine Stifle Bone Cysts
We're developing a computational model of an equine stifle joint to better understand subchondral bone cysts, as well as test a novel surgical technique.
