Denis J. Marcellin-Little

Dr. Marcellin-Little is a veterinary orthopedic surgeon who has been doing research for approximately 20 years in the field of joint replacement, limb deformities, physical rehabilitation, and biomodeling/biomanufacturing. He has a particular interest in the interface between computers and orthopedics. He is a member of the Center of Additive Manufacturing and Logistics at North Carolina State University and an adjunct in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering (at NCSU), Industrial and Systems Engineering (at NCSU), and Physical Therapy (at UT-Chattanooga).

Guillermo Mendez-Rebolledo

Guillermo Mendez-Rebolledo received his Doctoral Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Science from Universidad Pablo de Olavide (2020), his Master in Health Sciences and Sport from Universidad Finis Terrae (2013) and his Bachelor of Physical Therapy from Universidad de Talca (2009). His research interest is Muscle Physiology and Motor Control with a special focus on Sports Medicine and Physiotherapy. Prof. Mendez-Rebolledo currently works at the Escuela de Kinesiología, University Santo Tomás (Chile).

Tomoki Nakamura

I am a lecturer of Orthopaedic Surgery at Mie University Graduate School of Medicine. I graduated from Mie University Faculty of Medicine in 2002 and received my PhD in 2009. I am a member of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association and a specialist in Orthopaedic Oncology. I typically treat patients presenting with bone sarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, and metastatic bone tumors. I am also the academic editor of several journals, including PLOS One, BMC Cancer, Oncology Reports, Oncology Letters.

Feng Pan

Dr. Pan is a Senior Research Fellow at Menzies Institute for Medical Research. He has been researching both epidemiology and clinical interventions to osteoarthritis-related pain. Much of his work has been on identifying biomechanical risk factors for chronic pain and osteoarthritis, identifying pain and osteoarthritis phenotypes and testing new therapeutic treatments.

David Rodríguez-Sanz

Dr. David Rodríguez-Sanz is a professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain.

His main research interest is focused in the field of foot and ankle, muscle, tendon, biomechanics, sports.

John Leicester Williams

John Leicester Williams, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee. Research interests include: biomechanical engineering, mechanobiology of growth plate cartilage, orthopaedic biomechanics, biomechanics of total joint replacements and of oral implants, knee joint kinematics and kinetics, mechanical properties of bone and cartilage. Academic Editor of PLoS ONE.

Anita E Wluka

Anita is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, and a Clinical Rheumatologist, Alfred Hospital, Melbourne.

Recognised as a world-leader in osteoarthritis research, Anita is based at The Alfred hospital where she combines research with clinical practice as a physician. Her work has contributed to guidelines for managing hip and knee osteoarthritis developed through the Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners National Health and Medical Research Council.

Vanessa R Yingling

Dr. Yingling is a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at California State University, East Bay. Her undergraduate degree was in Bioengineering from the University of California-San Diego. She obtained her master’s degree in Exercise Science from the University at Buffalo and her Ph.D. in Kinesiology (Biomechanics) from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She trained as a post-doctoral fellow for 2 years in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Dr. Yingling’s research interest is “How to grow a strong skeleton - The effect of exercise and loading on bone structure and strength. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Amir A. Zadpoor

Amir Zadpoor studied Biomed Eng for his MSc and obtained his PhD (cum laude) from Delft Univ. Tech. He joined the Dept. Biomech. Eng. to work in the area of tissue biomechanics and implants in 2010 and started a research lab focusing on biomaterials, orthopedics, and biomechanics of tissues and implants. Amir is on the review and editorial board of several journals and has published many peer-reviewed article. He recently received the prestigious ERC and Veni personal grants.
