Expertise

Research Interests:

  • Mechanics of soft biological materials, musculoskeletal development and regeneration, extracellular matrix

 Research:

  • Mechanical properties of soft biological materials
  • Extracellular matrix (ECM)
  • 4D mapping of ECM during musculoskeletal development and regeneration
  • Biomechanical regulation of cellular behavior and tissue assembly

The primary focus of Associate Professor Sarah Calve's research is to develop techniques to visualize extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture and quantify the combined effect of changes in local stiffness and cyclic loading on the material properties of soft tissues in the developing of the musculoskeletal system.
