Nanoscale Orthopaedic Biomaterials
Laboratory
The Nanoscale Orthopaedic Biomaterials Laboratory has a really important
sounding name with an even cooler acronym (NOBL). It is located on the
campus of Case Western Reserve University
in sunny Cleveland.
NOBL research breaksdown into primarily 3 areas
- Nanoscale Biomechanics: Inferring mechanical
and physiological properties of cartilage from molecular and
supramolecular scale measurements.
- Bone Engineering: Synthesis of bone replacement
materials using a biologically inspired design.
- Cellular Mechanotransduction: Search for the the
mechanical sensing components in orthapeadic derived cells.
