19th Ontario Biomechanics Conference 2025

From March 21 to 23, 2025, members of the Tissue Mechanics and Multiscale Imaging Lab had the opportunity to attend the 19th Ontario Biomechanics Conference (OBC) on Ontario Tech’s North Campus in Osawa, Ontario. The event brought together an exceptional community of young researchers, fostering lively discussions, innovative ideas, and a collaborative atmosphere.

The conference featured a strong scientific program alongside meaningful networking opportunities, enabling deep dives into the latest research and its clinical applications. This year’s OBC highlighted the growing role of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in musculoskeletal health.

Our lab was well represented with a delegation of eight researchers and a strong showing across both podium and poster sessions. We are proud to share the following contributions:

  • Jonathan Ying delivered a podium presentation on Quantifying Areal Bone Mineral Density Bias of Fiberglass Cast in a Standardized Forearm Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Protocol.

  • Sarah Quayyum presented her work on Dual Energy CT for More Accurate Diagnosis and Monitoring of Early Osteoarthritis-Related Shoulder Injuries.

  • Chloe Stiles gave a talk titled Validating Internal Density Calibration in the Proximal Humerus to Estimate Bone Stiffness for Stemless Shoulder Arthroplasty.

  • Olivia Yang contributed a poster on Validation of Internal Calibration Methods for CT-Based Muscle Density Analysis in Shoulder Osteoarthritis Patients Following Arthroplasty.

  • Johannes Eichwalder presented his latest research via poster titled Development of Next-Generation Subject-Specific Shoulder FEMs Using Advanced Experimental Testing Methodologies.

We are grateful to the OBC 2025 organizers for hosting such a dynamic and inspiring event. The insights and feedback gathered throughout the conference will directly support the continued development of our research projects.

We look forward to returning to OBC in 2026!
