Research & Facilities

Mark Ehrensberger, PhD, and Menachem Tobias, research scientist.

Like many of our faculty members, Mark Ehrensberger, PhD (right), has a number of research interests. His pursuits include mechanically assessing hard and soft tissue repairs commonly used in orthopaedics and studying implant corrosion mechanisms. 

Our department is heavily involved in research. Our basic science research laboratories engage in biomechanical projects, tissue engineering and microsurgery. We are enthusiastic about our numerous projects involving clinical and translational research, prosthetic design, epidemiology and surgical instrumentation and techniques.
