NMBL - Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab

The Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab combines experimental and computational approaches to study movement. We investigate the form and function of biomechanical systems ranging from molecular motors to persons with movement disorders. We seek fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of movement, and are motivated by opportunities to improve treatments for individuals with cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson’s disease.

NEWS

Scott Delp is appointed as an initial holder of the James H. Clark Professorship in the School of Engineering.
The James H. Clark fund for Bioengineering was established in 1999 by Jim Clark, former Stanford faculty member and founder of SGI and Netscape (among other companies), and was designed to support bioengineering faculty.
