Xin Lu (Lux) (xl79@columbia.edu) is a postdoc in the Bone Bioengineering Lab. He received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Tsinghua University , Beijing , China , in 1998. After joining the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Columbia University in 2001, he has been working with Prof. Van C. Mow on cartilage biomechanics and obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2006. His current research projects in the bone lab include biomechanical behaviors of TMJ joint, mechanotransduction of bone cell network, and mixture theories for biological tissues


Xiaowei Sherry Liu (xl2014@columbia.edu) joined the bone bioengineering lab in 2003 as a Ph.D student. After graduation in 2007, she continued to work as a postdoc in the lab. She got her B.S. degree from Tsinghua University in 2002, and M.S. degree from Columbia University in 2004. Her research focus on the development of new image analysis technique for evaluation of trabecular bone microstructure, finite element methods for efficient assessment of mechanical properties of trabecular bone, and the simulation of trabecular bone remodeling. Currently she is also exploring her interest in in-vivo animal model, as well as mechanical testing of trabecular bone.

Alumini


Dr. Bo Huo ( bh2247@columbia.edu ) works as a postdoc in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University. He obtained BS and MS degrees from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics of China in 1993 and 1996, PhD degree from Tsinghua University of China in 2000. He took the first postdoctoral training in the field of biomaterials at Tsinghua University in 2000-2002 and worked as an associate professor at Institute of Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2002 to 2006. His current project is about the mechanotransduction of bone cell network.

Dr. Xiaohui Zhang ( xz2107 <at> columbia.edu ) was a graduate student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia. He got his B.S from University of Science and Technology of China in 2000, and M.S. from Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2003. He joined Prof. Guo's Group in 2003 Fall. His projects include (1) to determine the mechanical property of cement line, (2)in vivo and in vitro nonlinear modelling of trabecular bone

Dr. Meilin Ét¨¦ Chan ( mc2064<at>columbia.edu ) was a graduate student of the Bone Bioengineering lab. She graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for her B.S. degree in 2003 and received her M.S. degree from Columbia University in 2005. Her current project is to study the role of gap junctions in bone adaptation, using a 3D trabecular bone explant culture model. She also worked on another project adopting a rat model to determine the combined effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and mechanical stimulation on trabecular bone in vivo.
