mechanobiology

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of Bioengineering with an emphasis on mechanics and/or design.

Biomechanics areas of interest include, but are not limited to, theoretical, experimental, and computational biomechanics and/or mechanobiology. Design areas include, but are not limited to, photoacoustics and ultrasonics, theranostics, biorobotics and/or medical device design.

This conference will take place in Hawai'i, USA, 11-14 December 2011

 Themes covered will include: 

• Natural, biologically inspired and biomimetic materials• Hard (e.g. bone, teeth, metals, ceramics) and soft (e.g.cartilage, tendon, silk, polymers) tissues and materials• Mechanobiology, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering• Multiscale modelling and simulation of mechanical properties• Multiscale experimental characterization of biological tissues, including AFM, nanoindentation, optical tweezers

We wrote a book chapter about the role of the actin cytoskeleton in mechanosensation. The book title is Mechanosensitivity and Mechanotransduction, edited by A, Kamkin and I. Kiseleva and published by Springer-Verlag, New York.". 

In this chapter, we try to integrate mechanics, materials science, biophysics and biology together to give a most updated view of this field. We also want to introduce the feedback loop concept to mechanicians who are interested in studying biological systems.
