DESCRIPTION:We welcome Dr. Robert Mauck as the next speaker in our series. 
 Dr. Mauk is the Mary Black Ralston Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Pr
 ofessor of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania.\n\nFibrous Ce
 ll and Tissue Tension Driving Phenotype and Directing Therapeutics\n\nRese
 arch: Our research program is physically located in the McKay Orthopaedic 
 Research Laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania and within the Tra
 nslational Musculoskeletal Research Center at the Philadelphia VA Medial C
 enter. Our group focuses on the engineering and mechanobiology of musculos
 keletal tissues\, with a particular interest in restoring articular cartil
 age\, the knee meniscus\, and the intervertebral disc. For this\, we devel
 op and use rigorous mechanical and molecular analyses to characterize nati
 ve tissue structure and function\, and then employ this information to enh
 ance the functional properties of engineered constructs through focused te
 chnology development. This work employs adult mesenchymal stem cells\, cus
 tom mechanobiologic culture conditions\, and the development of novel cell
  scaffolding technologies. Our work also explores progenitor cell function
 \, differentiation\, and efficacy across multiple length scales\, from inv
 estigations of subcellular biophysical properties\, heterogeneity\, and me
 chanobiology through to translation of stem cell-based engineered construc
 ts in large animal models of tissue repair and regeneration. Research team
  members work both within and across these domains to advance musculoskele
 tal tissue regeneration.\n\nBio: Dr. Robert Mauck is the Mary Black Ralsto
 n Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Professor of Bioengineering at the 
 University of Pennsylvania. He is the Director of the McKay Orthopaedic Re
 search Laboratory and the Biomechanics Core of the Penn Center for Musculo
 skeletal Disorders. Dr. Mauck co-directs the Program in Musculoskeletal Re
 generation in the Penn Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Mauck is a
 lso a Research Health Scientist at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center\, an
 d co-Director of the Translational Musculoskeletal Research Center (TMRC) 
 at the VA. Dr. Mauck obtained his undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry an
 d Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University (1998)\, and completed his
  PhD at Columbia in the Cellular Engineering and Musculoskeletal Biomechan
 ics Laboratories under the direction of Dr. Clark Hung and Dr. Gerard Ates
 hian (2003). After postdoctoral studies (2003-2005) at the National Instit
 utes of Health with Dr. Rocky Tuan\, Dr. Mauck moved to the University of 
 Pennsylvania where he has since developed a new research program in the Mc
 Kay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory. His group focuses on the engineering 
 of musculoskeletal tissues\, with a particular interest in restoring artic
 ular cartilage\, the knee meniscus\, and the intervertebral disc. Dr. Mauc
 k’s team uses rigorous mechanical and molecular analyses to characterize
  native tissue structure and function and employs this information to enha
 nce the functional properties of engineered constructs through focused tec
 hnology development. Specifically\, this work employs adult mesenchymal st
 em cells\, custom mechanobiologic culture conditions\, and novel cell scaf
 folding technologies\, and spans in vitro systems to large animal models. 
 This work is supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health
 \, the Department of Defense\, the Department of Veterans Affairs\, as wel
 l as several private foundations. Dr. Mauck is a member of the American So
 ciety for Mechanical Engineers (ASME)\, the Biomedical Engineering Society
  (BMES)\, the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS)\, and the International C
 artilage Repair Society (ICRS)\, and has published more than 190 manuscrip
 ts in the field of orthopaedic tissue engineering and mechanobiology.
