Profile

His main research interests focus on multiscale modelling of the musculoskeletal system in particular to human knee joint in OA. He is also a member of the Early Career Researcher Committee of the Insigneo Institute and the Virtual Physiological Human Institute (VPHi).

Research interests

Research Project Title: Multi-scale modelling of mechanical loading and inflammation in osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disorder with complex pathogenesis, and it is indispensable for anticipation of OA onset or development to elucidate inflammatory molecular pathways that also interact with physiological loadings. This research project aims to develop a computational approach combining key factors (mechanical loading and inflammation) of OA by coupling different scales.

Research group

Integrative Musculo-Skeletal Biomechanics Research (IMSB) Group
