Welcome all!!…

Lynette Xiadani Lopez received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering specializing in bionics from Institute of Technology of Hermosillo in 2022. And she is going to join BBL in 2023 as an MS/PhD student. Welcome Lynette!

On July 17th, 2023 Teo successfully defended her thesis: Microstructural and biomechanical bone adaptations in a longitudinal study of guinea pig osteoarthritis and simulated disease progression. We are very proud of her accomplishments!

On April 9th Jenny Hu successfully defended her thesis: Microstructure and Biomechanics of the Subchondral Bone in the Development of Knee Osteoarthritis. We are very proud of her accomplishments. She will pursue her postdoctoral studies at Dr. Yingzi Yang's lab (Harvard School of Dental Medicine). Congrats and best of luck in your new position Jenny!

On May 20th Sam Robinson successfully defended his thesis: Bone mechanobiology of modeling and remodeling and the role of the hematopoietic lineage. We are very proud of him and his accomplishments, and his virtual thesis defense was a first for the BBL and wondefully done. We will miss him greatly, but are very excited for his future!
