Inaugural IBP Network Webinar Series: Musculoskeletal tissue nanomechanics using in situ SAXS/WAXD

Image:

Date: 3 February 2021   Time: 15:00 - 16:00

Abstract:
Musculoskeletal organs undergo a hierarchy of deformation processes during physiological and injurious loading (from molecular to macroscale). This webinar will describe, using examples from bone and cartilage in health and disease, how to use high brilliance microfocus synchrotron X-ray scattering to measure the nanometre-scale mechanisms in these tissues dynamically and in situ.

About the speaker:
Dr. Himadri S. Gupta is Reader in Bioengineering and Biophysics in the Institute of Bioengineering at Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on the nanoscale mechanisms underpinning musculoskeletal tissue mechanics, using synchrotron X-ray techniques.
