The general research area of the Spine Bioengineering Laboratory is in the area of soft-tissue bioengineering and the relationship between mechanical events and the biological response of living tissues.
The primary research focus is in the area of spine and intervertebral disc bioengineering. Understanding the relationship between the mechanical, electrical, and chemical fields in the living tissue and the biosynthetic response of cells is necessary for early detection of degenerative discdisease and successful repair of the intervertebral disc.
