Multi-scale Biomechanics and Engineering of Soft Tissue (MuBEST) laboratory
Welcome to MuBEST lab!
In MuBEST lab, we pursue fundamental research related to two biological tissues constituting the musculo-skeletal system: the articular cartilage and the skeletal muscle. Our research vision is to develop mechanistic understanding of how injury/disease affects tissue functions and how tissue repair occurs. We approach the research questions with insights gained from tissue, cell, and molecular length scales. Through the fundamental understanding of the degenerative processes, various strategies can be developed for prediction of injury risk to the biological tissues, and for treatment and rehabilitation of the affected biological tissues. For more information, see here.
The MuBEST lab at Carleton University is located on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg people. We are grateful for the opportunity to work and study here and we thank the many generations of people who cared for this land.
