Description of Research Interest
The Snedeker laboratory focuses on three primary research areas: mechanical/biological based understanding of collagen tissue degeneration and regeneration; micro-mechanical cell-biomaterial interactions and their implications for tissue damage and regeneration; and clinical biomechanics for improving existing orthopedic implant design, for the development of novel implants, and for the development of improved quantitative radiological endpoints.
