Spring 2020 virtual celebration!
We got together safely and virtually to celebrate the end of another productive semester!
We had a long list of accomplishments to celebrate including Kaveh's graduation and acceptance into graduate school, Akshat's graduation and Senior Award, Nirali's first manuscript submission, Soyoung's Neurophotonics Traineeship, and Kerry's first NIH grant! Hoping we get back into the lab together soon!
Congratulations Soyoung for NSF NRS UtB: Neurophotonics acceptance!
Congratulations to our first year PhD student Soyoung Lee for being accepted into the Understanding the Brain: Neurophotonics National Science Foundation Research Traineeship Program! Soyoung will be training in mobile neuroimaging technologies to probe mechanisms underlying pain and abnormal movement in knee osteoarthritis.
New Publication on association of isokinetic knee extensor and flexor torque and varus thrust in knee osteoarthritis
Our new paper in Journal of Biomechanics - lower knee extensor and flexor isokinetic torque is associated with greater knee adduction velocity, a measure of varus thrust, in people with knee osteoarthritis. Read more here!
Presentations at OARSI 2020 (Canceled due to COVID)
Here are the scheduled poster presentations at the OARSI 2020 Annual Meeting! Unfortunately, the meeting was canceled due to COVID-19.

Upward Bound 2019
The Upward Bound Math Science program at Boston University is a part of the federally funded TRIO programs, whose purpose is to prepare low-income and first-generation college bound students for success in higher education.
Like we do each year, we invited UBMC students to gain some hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology in biomechanics Looking forward to working with these great students from UBMC again soon!
