Recent Lab News
In these first few weeks of 2025, Rachel Kohler and Olivia Reul have each had a paper published in Bone and Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biological Materials, respectively!
Welcome 2025! It will be hard to have a better year than 2024, but we will try! In addition to our transition to Purdue University, last year saw the continuation or funding of 8 federal grants (3 as PI), the normal turnover of personnel, and the publication of 12 peer-reviewed papers. Thanks to everyone in the lab who made it all possible! 2025 will start fast, with 3 presentations at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society in Phoenix this February. Congrats to Olivia (PhD student), Amanda (MS student), and Katelynn (undergraduate student)!
The BBML is actively looking for highly motivated graduate students and postdoctoral candidates with a solid background in musculoskeletal biomechanics to take the lead on one of several funded projects from the NSF, VA, or NIH. Ideally, the candiates will have experience with in vivo experiments and working as a mentor of students in a research setting. Please click here for information on how to become a part of our team.
In November 2024, Amanda Wagner successfully defended her MS thesis, completed in only 1.5 years. Congrats Amanda!
On October 7, 2024, we are happy to welcome our newest lab member. Maria Prado has joined us as a postdoc after having completed her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
On July 1, 2024, the transition from IUPUI to Purdue University will be complete. Dr. Wallace will be a Professor in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, and Associate Vice President for Research Development for Indianapolis. We are all excited for the opportunities this transition brings to the lab and for the campus as a whole!
