Main lines of research
• Modeling and simulation of the functional behavior of tissues and organs with application in the evaluation of pathologies and surgery, pre-operative planning and virtual surgery . The main fields of application are related to the musculoskeletal system, the cardiovascular system and other tissues such as trachea, eye or breast .
• Mechanobiology with emphasis on bone remodeling, bone healing and bone morphogenesis, implant os- teointegration and wound healing, taking into consideration the effect of the mechanical environment in cell response .
• Tissue engineering, analyzing the design of ceramic, polymeric and biological scaffolds and meshes in tissue regeneration, including the interaction scaffold-tissue .
• Cell biophysics, studying cell transduction and signaling mechanisms, derived from the mechanical environ- ment (deformation, stiffness of the substrate...) and of the intra-extramembrane electric potential .
