Primary Investigator

  • Karl J. Lewis, PhD

  • Assistant Professor, Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering

    Prof. Lewis seeks to understand how sensing mechanisms in musculoskeletal cells relate to tissue-level changes in health and disease. His lab uses advanced imaging techniques to better understand the molecular mechanisms in mechanical sensing, and how these mechanisms change as a function of age and disease.
