Walter Herzog

Principal Investigator

Research:

Neuro-biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system: My expertise is in the area of growth, healing, and adaptation of soft (ligament, tendon, muscle, and articular cartilage) and hard (bone tissues. Within this area we work experimentally and theoretically on the molecular/cellular, in vitro, in situ, and in vivo level. It also includes cell manipulation and mechanical testing and finite element modeling, continuum mechanics, simulations and theories of growth and adaptation.

Current Positions:

  • Co-Director, Human Performance Laboratory
