SICB Division of Comparative Biomechanics (DCB)

On this page:



Introduction

The SICB has created a new division for the study of comparative biomechanics. The new division will hold its organizational meeting at the 2007 SICB Annual Meeting in Phoenix. At this time, we will attempt to adopt a set of bylaws. Since we do not yet have an official membership, we will hold elections in the spring of 2007. New officers will assume office at the 2008 meeting. Until then, we accepted volunteers as interim officers. These include: Robert Full, chair; Miriam Ashley-Ross, secretary; Frank Fish, program officer; and Monica Daley, student/postdoc representative.



News & Announcements


Biomechanics Course at Friday Harbor Laboratories

Dear Colleague,

I wish to draw your attention to a new course in Biomechanics, offered at Friday Harbor Laboratories this summer by Emily Carrington (U Washington), Mark Denny (Stanford University), and John Gosline (U British Columbia). The course runs for 5 weeks (June 9-July 12; 9 graduate level credits) and includes opportunities for independent student projects. Applications are due February 1, and late applications will be considered if space is available. More information is provided on the attached flyer (http://sicb.org/divisions/DCB/BiomexFHL2008.pdf); please pass it on to your students and colleagues. Thank you for your assistance.

Best wishes,

Emily Carrington

American Society of Biomechanics 2009 Meeting
The abstract submission deadline for the annual American Society of Biomechanics 2009 meeting has been extended!The new deadline will be Friday, April 10 before 4pm CST. Please refer to the following website for both the abstract template and submission. http://www.outreach.psu.edu/programs/biomechanics/abstracts.html

The American Society of Biomechanics - ASB
With over 800 attendees, the 2008 North American Congress on Biomechanics (NACOB) at the University of Michigan was an overwhelming success. This year Penn State and the American Society of Biomechanics invite all of us to the annual meeting to be held on Penn State's University Park campus from August 26 to 29, 2009. The meeting will feature stimulating scientific sessions, comfortable conference facilities, and various social opportunities in a relaxed, academic setting.


Craniofacial Biomechanics: in vivo to in silico - One Day Symposium
York Medical Society Rooms, York, UK
10th July 2009
Organiser: Sam Cobb, Hull York Medical School UK
This event is sponsored by the Hull York Medical School and the Anatomical Society of Great Britain & Ireland

Central to a number of biological disciplines is an understanding of the relationship between structure and function in the craniofacial skeleton during both development and evolution. Recent advances in the availability of 3D imaging and computing power allow morphologists to use the engineering tools of finite element analysis (FEA) to address previously intractable questions. Biologically meaningful finite element modelling of the craniofacial skeleton however not only requires a diverse array of information ranging from the material properties of foods and craniofacial tissues to in vivo EMG, but also validation and sensitivity tests to assess whether the models adequately approximate reality. This symposium brings together an international group of experts covering this diverse range of topics necessary to model the biomechanics of the craniofacial skeleton.

Speakers:
Stephen Wroe (University of New South Wales, Australia)
Barth Wright (Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, USA)
Callum Ross (University of Chicago, USA)
Emily Rayfield (University of Bristol, UK)
Paul O\u2019Higgins (Hull York Medical School, UK)
Kornelius Kupczik (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig, Germany)
Betsy Dumont (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA)
Paul Dechow (Baylor College of Dentistry, Texas, USA)
Neil Curtis (University of Hull, UK)
Samuel Cobb (Hull York Medical School, UK)

From the DCB Researchers Database

Linda Z. Holland

Amphioxus as the best available stand-in for the ancestral vertebrate
My laboratory focuses on genes and development of the cephalochordate amphioxus and has played a major role in the effort to sequence the amphioxus genome. Annotation will begin in Jan. 2006 and the complete genome is expected to be released by mid-year. On-going projects include evolution of gene regulation and the roles of retinoic acid and wingless signaling pathways in axial patterning.
