After completing her bachelors degree in Engineering from Smith College, Brianne pursued a Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. There, she worked with Dr. Louis Soslowsky in the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory studying the multiscale biomechanics and structure of tendon. Brianne then moved to Boston to work with Dr. Alan Grodzinsky at MIT for her postdoctoral work, where she focused on developing new in vitro explant models for studying tendon mechanobiology. Outside the lab, she is an avid volleyball player and loves to travel. She also enjoys cooking, crafting, and graphic design.

Sam received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Biomechanics at the University of Rochester. There, he worked with Dr. Mark Buckley using elastography to study the mechanical strain response of the mouse Achilles tendon insertion to transverse compression as a result of passive dorsiflexion. In his free time, Sam enjoys hiking, ultimate frisbee and video games.

Emma graduated from Cornell University in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering. At Cornell, she worked with Dr. Jonathan Butcher’s lab developing pre-vascularized thick tissue flaps for tissue engineering applications. She also spent a summer in her hometown of Blacksburg, VA working with Dr. Vincent Wang’s group at Virginia Tech where she researched fatigue loading of mouse flexor tendons. On top of her interests in biomechanics and mechanobiology, Emma is interested in viewing science with a societal perspective and is passionate about global health, women’s health, and science communication. Outside of lab, Emma enjoys running, hiking, biking, swimming, rock climbing, cooking/baking, exploring new places, and competing in triathlons.

Anthony graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering. At Rochester Institute of Technology, he completed two 7- month co-op work internships, one with GlaxoSmithKline in Pennsylvania and one with the Buckley Lab at the University of Rochester. At GlaxoSmithKline, he worked with the histology group developing protocols to identify key biomarkers relevant to the treatment of various disease. During his time in the Buckley Lab, Anthony studied the role of calcaneal impingement in Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy through the use of ultrasound. Outside of the lab, Anthony is an avid saltwater fisher and enjoys spending time on the water. He also enjoys soccer, hiking, skiing, reading Syfy novels, cooking, and visiting historical sites.
