What do we mean by "Multiscale Mechanophysiology Lab?"

Multi-scale - We work across length scales from proteins to the whole body

Muscle - We find skeletal muscles fascinating

Mechanophysiology - We study muscles at the intersection between mechanics and physiology

Laboratory - We use a lot of computers and also many different experimental techniques

 

Our research goals are to:
- Elucidate the fundamental principles of musculoskeletal design.
- Create the world's most innovative, accurate, realistic, and beautiful models of muscle.
- Develop new experimental techniques to study muscle properties and function.
- Translate our work to have societal impact.
