Preclinical Research
Our preclinical research uses experimental models to study bone mechanobiology during growth, especially how disease and external factors influence normal bone behavior.
Current Directions
- Mechanical regulation of bone growth
- Experimental murine tibia loading models
- MicroCT, histological, cellular, and mechanical tissue-level analyses
Methods
This stream connects controlled experimental biomechanics with imaging and tissue analysis to understand how growing bone senses and responds to its physical environment.
