Pleased to announce FEBio Studio 3.0, a major update that advances usability, flexibility, and analytical power. This release focuses on programmable workflows and new capabilities for model execution and diagnostics. Details in Github release notes: github.com/febiosoftware/…

@GormleyLab Congrats!

Excited to share that my lab received its first NIH R01 to develop a self-driving lab for antibody formulation!! research.rutgers.edu/news/data-driv…

@KarenKrugerPhD Wonderful to hear!

@JeffWeissUT He seems like he's very much enjoying retirement and being a grandpa up in Maine!

I'm forever honored to be the bookends of Tom Brown's PhD students with Don Anderson. It was incredible to see 13 of 19 of his PhD students together. His approach to rigorous science, thinking creatively, and forming clinical collaborations have played a large role in my career.

To improve outcomes for patients with heart valve disease, we need to understand how their valves behave without performing invasive procedures. That’s where simulation comes in – but building accurate models is difficult when critical details, like tissue properties or valve support structures, are missing. These gaps make it hard to align simulations with real patient anatomy, limiting their clinical value. A new open-source method called FINESSE allows simulations to match real valve geometry from 3D echocardiography, even when data is limited. Tested on synthetic models and pediatric cases, FINESSE accurately estimated how valve leaflets stretch and move. This paves the way for linking real-time valve behavior to clinical outcomes.

Our new software framework in FEBio Studio will allow you to import image data, calculate orientation distribution functions, and use them directly in constitutive models for finite element modeling.

Please share broadly! If you or anyone you know is doing Injury #Biomechanics work and looking for a faculty position, please come join me in @BEAMvt #Hokies @VTEngineering - careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us/j…

We have an open #postdoc position on a new NIH award focused on redox biology in cartilage and the development of a therapeutic screen platform.

@Kean_Research @BlankaSharma There you go! Nice work!

Woooohoooo!! Notice of award in, I am now a federally funded investigator :) Looking forward to working on this project and the other R21 in collaboration with @BlankaSharma

If you missed the FEBio Workshop at the SB3C conference in June, you can watch the video, review the presentation slides and work through the tutorial models via this link to our Knowledgebase: febio.org/knowledgebase/…

Michelle Mendoza, PhD, and @JeffWeissUT, PhD, are the recipients of a $2.6 million grant from the @NIH to research how tension in lung tissue affects the growth of tumors. This innovative research could reveal new mechanisms in lung cancer development: bit.ly/3XZlEJt

@labellestevena @FEBioSoftware Link seems to be broken. Maybe this one: t.ly/Rb7_n

Please to share manuscript, 'Continuum growth mechanics: Reconciling two common frameworks" w/ Gerard Ateshian and @labellestevena. We derived relationships between constrained-mixture and kinematic growth frameworks, both available in @FEBioSoftware. pdf: t.ly/OwVWF
