    Summary

    Dr. Vanderby is a professor in the Biomedical Engineering Department and in the Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Department where he directs the Orthopedic Research Laboratories. He has an affiliate appointment in the Departments of Engineering Physics and Mechanical Engineering. His research focuses entirely on orthopedic issues.

    Vanderby is particularly interested in orthopedic tissues (bone, ligament, tendon, cartilage, etc.). His research focuses on wound healing or regeneration of these tissues via tissue engineering. This includes equal parts of functional characterization (e.g. biomechanics), microstructural morphology and composition, and the relevant biological sciences (cell and molecular biology, histology, etc.).

    Additionally, Vanderby is interested in ultrasonic wave propagation in these tissues for clinically relevant characterization, in knee reconstruction, in fracture fixation, and in the biomechanics of the spine. To study these orthopedic issues, he uses and adapts engineering and biological methods including experimental, analytical, and computational mechanics.
