  Topic: Interdisciplinary approach from biomedical sciences and material engineering through X-ray synchrotron experiments (particle physics) seeking to understand skeletal biology and disease, and improve human health. Her research is dedicated to investigate the mechanisms that regulate the mechanical and material quality of bone. She is applying cutting edge synchrotron technologies to evaluate fatigue and fracture behavior in a variety of biomaterials. Research topics: Skeletal biomechanics, Fatigue, Fracture mechanics, Bone quality, X-ray synchrotron/particle physics, Multi-scale approach, Remodeling, Tissue Engineering, Structural materials.
