This grant is for the purpose of advancing fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology. It supports projects utilizing multiscale mechanics approaches, integrating across molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ domains, which may include theoretical, computational, or experimental methodologies. A key focus is investigating the influence of in vivo mechanical forces on cell and matrix biology, critical for understanding tissue histomorphogenesis, maintenance, regeneration, and aging. The program also encourages translating recent mechanobiological discoveries into innovative engineering science applications. Furthermore, it invites exploration of diverse living tissues as intelligent, self-designing materials, fostering interdisciplinary advancements in this vital field.

| Description: | The BMMB program supports fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology. The program emphasizes multiscale mechanics approaches that integrate across molecular, cell, tissue and organ domains in the study of organisms. Projects may include theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches.
An important concern is the influence of in vivo mechanical forces on cell and matrix biology in the histomorphogenesis, maintenance, regeneration and aging of tissues. The program also is interested in efforts to translate recent mechanobiological discoveries into engineering science. The program encourages the consideration of diverse living tissues as smart materials that are self-designing. |
