Primary Investigator

  • Karl Lewis

  • Assistant Professor Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering

    Postdoctoral Fellow - Indiana University School of Medicine

    PhD Biomedical Engineering - The City College of New York

    BS Mechanical Engineering - Temple University

    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.
