Research area

The Orthopedic Biomechanics laboratory (headed by Prof. Snedeker) focuses on three primary research areas: mechanical/biological based understanding of tendon disease and healing; micro-mechanical cell-biomaterial interactions and their implications for therapeutic success; and clinical biomechanics for improving existing orthopedic implant design and for the development of novel implants.

Since March 2022 Jess Snedeker has been Full Professor for Orthopedic Biomechanics at ETH Zurich (dual-professorship, University of Zurich).
