The MOBIOS Lab conducts research at the intersection of medical imaging, computational simulation, and mechanics to answer clinical and basic science questions in orthopaedic bioengineering. We are interested in clinical rehabilitation in populations such as stroke and cerebral palsy, human performance in recreational and competitive athletes, muscle-connective tissue interaction at multiple scales, and understanding aging of the human musculoskeletal system from in utero to old age. Sitting between the Department of Orthopaedics in the UNC School of Medicine and the Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering based at UNC and NC State, we are interdisciplinary and collaborate across clinical and basic science departments. Please reach out if you are interested in musculoskeletal form and function, advanced imaging and simulation in bioengineering, or understanding clinical orthopaedics from an engineering perspective.
Join the Lab!
The MOBIOS Lab welcomes inquiries from motivated undergraduates, graduate students, medical students, and medical residents interested in musculoskeletal imaging, biomechanics, and computational modeling. Whether you’re looking for research experience, mentorship, or collaboration, we encourage you to reach out and explore opportunities to get involved.
