UBC researchers secure CIHR Project Grant to advance pediatric ACL rehabilitation with remote technology
A team of UBC researchers has secured a CIHR Project Grant to develop technology for tracking ACL injury recovery in children, advancing pediatric orthopaedic care. This interdisciplinary effort brings together researchers Dr. Tim Bhatnagar and Dr. Lise Leveille from The Motion Lab at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCHRI) and the UBC Department of Orthopaedics and Dr. Calvin Kuo from the Centre for Aging SMART and the UBC School of Biomedical Engineering.
Dr. Jackson Robinson leads review comparing weight-bearing monitoring devices in lower extremity fractures
A new study led by Dr. Jackson Robinson examined the effectiveness of various non-invasive devices used to measure weight-bearing following lower extremity fractures. With funding from the UBC Department of Orthopaedics 2023 Summer Student Research Grant, Dr. Robinson collaborated with Dr. Stockton and orthopaedic resident Dr. Alice Wang, alongside UBC librarians, Aubrey Geyer and Kristina McDavid.
Dr. David Wilson awarded NSERC Discovery Grant for advancing hip mechanics research
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. David Wilson has been awarded an NSERC Discovery Grant to support his innovative research program focused on understanding the complex mechanics of the human hip joint. We look forward to the exciting discoveries his research will bring to the field of biomechanics.
UBC researchers awarded more than $6.5 million to advance neuroscience research
Dr. Brian Kwon awarded $1.8M Brain Canada Platform Support Grant. The International Spinal Cord Injury Biobank (ISCIB): Promoting Global Spinal Cord Injury Research Through Human Biobanking will expand access to vital human biological samples for spinal cord injury research, enabling researchers worldwide to advance treatments and improve outcomes for patients.
