Professor YuanTong Gu and Professor Peter Pivonka
are using computational modelling to enhance our ability to diagnose and treat joint conditions. Professor Gu uses data from medical imaging to develop advanced modelling methods for simulating joint tissue, including cartilage and bone, which could ultimately be used to create computational tools for orthopaedic surgery planning. Professor Pivonka is harnessing in silico trials – computer simulations that enable clinicians to test treatments virtually – to provide personalised therapy recommendations for osteoporosis patients based on their individual physiology, rather than using generically prescribed treatments. Professors Gu and Pivonka are the Director and Deputy Director, respectively, of the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Joint Biomechanics, which translates fundamental biomechanics research into clinical outcomes.
