What is our main mission?
The Spine Biomechanics group aims to improve patients' musculoskeletal health by investigating how disease, aging, and injury degrade spinal tissues' biomechanics and function and exploring computational and imaging methods to evaluate this degradation from clinical imaging. Our goal is to use these studies to develop precision-based, patient-specific diagnostic protocols to aid patient management and the development of new treatment modalities.
