Welcome

Welcome to the Laboratory for Soft Tissue Biomechanics at Northeastern University. Our lab conducts studies to understand how mechanical loading and structural properties at different scales (i.e., organ, tissue, extracellular matrix, and cellular/sub-cellular levels) affect the responses of normal and diseased soft tissues, with a special focus on women’s health. We aim to determine how deviating from the native states may induce pathophysiological responses. Our group has been extending the scope of experimental techniques to quantify the mechanical and microstructural properties of soft tissues. We have also been developing multi-scale computational models of tissue biomechanics and mechanobiology based on the experimentally quantified responses at the cellular, extracellular matrix, and tissue levels.

Our lab is located on the 1st floor of Mugar Life Sciences Building, Room 132A see our Contact for more details.
