Research Areas:

soft tissue biomechanics and extracellular matrix biology, mechanobiology of hyaluronic acid synthesis, and magnetic resonance imaging applied to musculoskeletal and neural biomechanics

Current Projects:

The Chan Lab believes that understanding the early response to injury is critical to diagnosis, assessment, and intervention in life-altering diseases, including post-traumatic osteoarthritis and traumatic brain injury. True to our biomedical engineering roots, we adopt a multi-disciplinary approach - using biomechanics, biomedical imaging, and matrix biology - to quantify the complex tissue responses to injury.
