Welcome to our lab!
Take a look at these videos to see what our lab does and the research we are invovled in.
Research Spotlight
Our collaborative group of students from the BME department created and presented their senior design project in which they developed a device that engages children aged 5- 12 in various tasks that require distinct grip articulations, enabling the collection of movement and force data.
This project represents a significant advancement in the study of muscular development in children with cerebral palsy, promising to enhance both the scope and depth of future research in this vital area.
Previous Research Spotlight
We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our lab team members, Liz Clancy. Liz comes to us from the Department of Biological Sciences. She represented our research lab by presenting her research on Friday, August 4th, 2023 as a part of the Marquette Summer Research Program. Liz’s hard work this summer certainly paid off, and we as a lab are proud to have her!
