Like most of 2020, BMES (Biomedical Engineering Society) looked different than normal. This year’s conference was held virtually. As with other BMES conferences, OML had a very strong showing, with five lab members presenting their research! Unfortunately virtual conferences don’t lend themselves to lots of photos, but you can check out a screen grab of Vince presenting his poster below!

• Jason: Micro-Finite Element Models of Osteoporotic Bone Resist Changes in Performance Due to Downsampling
• Sandra: Examining contributions of limb unloading to changes in bone perfusion with ischemic stroke
• Annie Kate: Impact of Ischemic Stroke on Gait Mechanics in Older Mice
• Vince: Optimizing the Modulus-Density Relationship in Finite Element Models of Vertebral Cancellous Bone
• Jennifer: Reduced Humeral Bone Growth Following Brachial Plexus Birth Injury

Jacque, Jon and Nicholas all travelled to Minneapolis for the annual Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) meeting. Both Jon and Nicholas were selected for talks, and they did a great job!
