Silvia Salinas Blemker joined the University of Virginia faculty in January of 2006. She obtained her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University and her Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. Dr. Blemker came to UVA from Stanfords National Center for Biomedical Computation, where she was a post-doctoral Research Associate. Dr. Blemker's research is focused on identifying the relationships between muscle structure, mechanical properties, biology, and function. Her group integrates a variety of computational and experimental approaches to achieve this goal, and they are applying our findings to understanding and improving treatments for
muscle impairments.
Dr. Blemker directs the Multiscale Muscle Mechanics Lab ("M3 Lab") at UVa. Please see the M3 Lab web site for more details.
