Melissa Grunlan and Michael Moreno, College of Engineering, and William Saunders, School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, received a $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to support a project titled, “Synthetic Cartilage-Capped, Regenerative Osteochondral Plugs to Heal Osteochondral Defects.”
A J. Mike Walker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering faculty member and affiliated faculty with the Biomedical Engineering department, Dr. Moreno is Director of the Biomechanical Environments Laboratories. His research is focused on experimental biomechanics and biomechanical engineering across multiple scales. Research interests include biomechanical factors in medical device design, biomechanical factors in tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting, medical device innovation in resource limited settings, cardiovascular fluid and solid biomechanics, orthopedic biomechanics, veterinary biomechanics, biomechanics of human performance, and sports biomechanics.
Congratulations to you all!
