We are recruiting a postdoc for an exciting multi-disciplinary project that explores the use of quantum sensors to measure muscle behaviour - looking for someone with skills in ultrasound, mocap, and EMG - funded by QLD Government's Quantum 2032 Challenge uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uqcare...

great opportunity here !

Integrating Biomechanics, Energetics and Ecology in Locomotion

Was fun to be part of this paper led by Glen Lichtwark "Integrating muscle energetics into biomechanical models to understand variance in the cost of movement"

Less than 2 weeks until abstracts are due for our satellite meeting "Muscle-tendon mechanics across species" with a great line up of speakers across the human and comparative biomechanics fields (and student grants available via the ISB website: isbweb.org/students/stu...)

A reminder that registration is open for this CNB Muscle-tendon mechanics satellite meeting!

Students can apply for the ISB Technical Meeting grant for $500USD to attend

isbweb.org/students/28-...
(see grant #5: CNB isn't listed because it is a new group, but the funding does apply)

Registration and abstract submission are now open for the CNB Muscle-tendon mechanics across species Satellite meeting in Helsinki Finland July 23rd-26th 2025 before the main ISB meeting.

Meeting website: www.jyu.fi/en/events/mu...

Abstracts due Feb 14th

Muscle peeps...pennation angle matters, but does NOT belong in the equation for PCSA. Please, as a field, let's start using the correct equation. We tried to explain a bit of these here -

So proud of these students and all that they do!

Heading home from a wonderful #ABCANZORS2024
Thanks to ANZSB and ANZORS for putting on a great meeting.

High-quality science and Incredible presentations all round, with India Lindemann and James Williamson taking home conference awards !

All dressed up to celebrate a successful year of science with the lab family at the UQ School of Biomedical Sciences Year end Gala!
So proud of these superbly talented students and post docs

Ever wondered why cheetahs are so dang fast, but smaller animals, like mice, or larger animals, like elephants, are much slower? Thrilled to share our new study in Nat Comm led by @EvoBiomech & @cclemente4 w/ Peter Bishop. A conversation that started nearly 10 y ago

Thrilled to have our research supported by ALS Association.

We will explore the potential for exoskeletons to assist movement in #ALS. Exciting collab between my team, @SteynLab, @Ngo_Lab, @J_L_Williamson9, Zach Lerner & @biomotum

Automatic model scaling for more accurate inverse kinematics and dynamics, in minutes.

Fun collab led by Karen Liu, kicked off by a survey here :-)

Much improved in past few months. Give it a try!

NBD grants are out!
Make sure you don’t miss the chance of having FUNding to support your National Biomechanics Day activities!
