The Tissue Mechanics and Multiscale Imaging Laboratory was established in 2022 by Nikolas Knowles, PhD. Our multidisciplinary team uses a translational approach to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of bone and joint injury and disease.
Our research is separated into two main themes: mechanistic and clinical. The mechanistic theme focuses on using multiscale imaging and tissue mechanics to improve understanding of bone and joint injury and disease. The clinical theme applies the mechanistic knowledge to improve diagnosis and treatment of bone and joint injury and disease.
