The Willett Lab
Musculoskeletal Regenerative and Rehabilitation Engineering
OUR mission
Our mission is to develop regenerative therapies and engineering tools to address the unmet clinical needs of patients with complex musculoskeletal injuries and disease.
The musculoskeletal system is too often studied and treated as independent tissues rather than functionally integrated units. Our research takes a systems integration approach to musculoskeletal disease and regenerative engineering, applying novel imaging and engineering tools to mechanistic biology problems.
Research
Research in the Willett Lab integrates mechanics principles and analytical tools with molecular biology techniques to uniquely address the challenges of musculoskeletal disease and regeneration.
People
Our Lab is committed to mentoring a diverse group of trainees, supporting their development as scientists and preparing them for successful careers in research and beyond.
The Willett Lab
In 2022, the Willett lab relocated to the University of Oregon's Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. The Willett Lab is situated within the Department of Bioengineering in Eugene, Oregon, where its research centers on musculoskeletal regenerative and rehabilitation engineering.
