While great advances have been made into understanding the biomechanical environment within human joints, large gaps in our knowledge of the basic mechanics still exist. These gaps are a direct result of limitations in our ability to experimentally characterize detailed internal joint mechanics during in vivo human motion. This lack of fundamental knowledge underlies a multitude of basic and applied research areas in musculoskeletal biomechanics.
As one of the world’s leading independent biomedical research institutions, Texas Biomedical Research Institute is dedicated to advancing the health of our global community through innovative biomedical research.

Infective larvae of Schistosoma mansoni are released from an aquatic snail host both the numbers of infective stages released and the timing of release vary between parasite genotypes. This grant utilizes linkage mapping to determine the genetic basis for variation in these two key transmission related traits.
