学术报告南澳大利亚大学健康科学学院 DominicThewlis博士 ReverseEngineer‐‐ theRoleMechanics Playin Musculoskeletal Disease Using Computational and MusculoskeletalDiseaseUsingComputationaland ExperimentalMethods Abstract 报告摘要 Musculoskeletal disease contributes to approximately 8% of the direct costs of global healthcare. As the life expectancy of the worldwide population continues to increase, the demand these diseases will place on society will grow substantially. We must therefore look to multifaceted approaches explain how we can minimise the effect of disease, and maximise recovery from trauma, to promote a healthy musculoskeletal system. The primary goal of this talk will be to explore how biomechanics can regulate physiological processes associated with disease and recovery. Recent studies at the University of South Australia have provided new insight into conditions such as arthrosis of the wrist, knee osteoarthritis and fracture healing mechanisms. This presentation will explore how and combination computational and experimental methods can provide insight into the role of mechanics in musculoskeletal disease. ShortBio 报告人简介 Dominic Thewlis is a Senior Lecturer at the University of South Australia. He graduated with a PhD in orthopaedic biomechanics in 2009. He has published 30 peer‐reviewed journal papers and 55 peer‐reviewed conference papers. He is the current Secretary, and President elect, for the Australian & New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society. His lab’s research f focus is the h biomechanics b h off the h peripheral h l joints and d soft f tissues surrounding them. His work integrates data‐rich medical imaging methods to generate subject‐specific musculoskeletal and finite element models of the human body. The long‐term goal of his research is to reverse engineer the role mechanics play in degenerative disease and trauma recovery. 时间： 2014年11月8号晚上7:00 地点：山东大学兴隆山校区讲学堂109教室欢迎各位老师、研究生和本科生同学出席
