Research summary
AI-generated

Deva D. Chan's research focuses on the mechanics and biology of joint tissues, especially cartilage, in relation to osteoarthritis and joint injury. Work combines lab experiments (such as engineered hydrogels and cell-stretching devices), imaging techniques (MRI and micro-CT), and computer simulations (finite element modeling) to understand how tissue structure and mechanical properties change with disease or injury. The group also studies biomaterials for tissue engineering and has contributed to discussions on equitable hiring practices in biomedical engineering.
