Teaching and research topics
The main part of the research is focused on the following lines :
- Modeling of bones and muscle mechanical behavior
- Improving of safety systems
- analysis of nervous system/moves interactions
Research teams
The laboratory is divided in five research teams, which have their own field of research :
- team 1 : mechanical behavior of body and clinical research
- team 2 : biomechanics of shocks, confort and safety in transportation
- team 3 : biomechanics of tissues
- team 4 : biomechanics, sports and health
- team 5 : biomechanics and nervous system
Projects
The LBM is working either with academic or industrial scientific partners. On the European scale, the laboratory is enrolled in 3 initiatives such as the CRAFT-Devaspim project which aims to develop a new kind of vertebral implants.[5] The laboratory is also behind the invention of the EOS imaging system in partnership with the Nobel Prize Georges Charpak.
Facilities and equipment
The laboratory has many "high-tech" apparatuses, especially in the field of medical imaging. Among them, the EOS system that it developed and improved recently.[6] It also have access to special equipment of the Hospital Henri Mondor, which includes a test platform for moves and walk.
The 20000+ square meters building of the laboratory was completely renewed in 2013.
