2009 Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship Awards

Joe Olberding is the recipient of a 2009 Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship Award. Joe's research focuses on the development and validation of multiscale, multiphysics computational models with a corresponding scaffold-free, parallel-fibered engineered-tissue culture system to study the biomechanics of soft-tissue growth and remodeling. The central theme of this work is the integration of in silico and in vitro approaches for soft-tissue biomechanical characterization toward the vision of "computer-aided tissue engineering" for regenerative medicine.

BME's own Andreja Jovic of the Takayama Lab is also honored as a recipient of this years awards.
