    In vitro bone mechanobiology

    In the area of in vitro mechanobiology of osteocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, we have developed both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) models for testing a series of novel hypotheses regarding the role of the osteocyte network in sensing mechanical signals and regulating osteoblast or osteoclast functions...

    Quasi-3D cell mechanics

    We have recently developed a novel quasi-3D microscopy system for the study of cells under fluid flow. This novel technology provides an amazing ability to simultaneously visualize and quantify, in real-time and in 3D, the dynamics of two cytoskeletal components and signal activation via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)...

    ITS and FEA of Skeletons

    In the area of image based microstructural and finite element analyses of human skeletons, we have innovated and advanced an individual trabeculae segmentation (ITS) technique and demonstrated its unique power in basic micromechanics of human trabecular bone...

Sherry's farewell party!

BBL had a Hibachi farewell party for Sherry. Sherry joined BBL in 2003, and did both her PhD and postdoc here. Then she worked in CUMC, but still closely collaborated with BBL. Over these years, Sherry has been super productive and made tremendous contribution to BBL. Now she's heading off to UPenn to start her faculty career. We all wish her the best luck! We believe she's going to be a great professor!
