CHA Research Forums
On Tuesday, February 27th Dr. Chris Jacobs will be the guest lecturer for the Center for Healthy Aging Research Forum. Dr. Jacobs is Associate Professor (Research) in the Division of Biomechanical Engineering in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Functional Restoration at Stanford University.
Dr. Jacobs is primarily interested in cellular mechanics and molecular mechanisms of cellular mechanotransduction particularly in bone. His recent work is focused on how fluid flow due to mechanical loading is transduced by bone cells. He also investigates the mechanical influence on and regulation of stress-adaptive orthopaedic structures, tissues, and cells. He is also the director of the Palo Alto DVA Center for Bone and Joint Rehabilitation Research and Development.
