معرفی
Hanna Isaksson is a Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Lund University, Sweden. She is a principal investigator in multiple profile areas including Engineering Health and NanoLund, and serves as assistant coordinator for Proactive Ageing at Lund University. Her work bridges biomedical engineering with musculoskeletal tissue research.
- Active in 8 ongoing projects
- Former postdoc at University of Eastern Finland
- PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands)
Isaksson's research focuses on biomechanics and mechanobiology of musculoskeletal tissues. Key areas include:
- Functional bone imaging and fracture mechanisms
- Statistical shape modeling for bone repair
- Knee osteoarthritis progression in cartilage/meniscus
- Computational modeling of tendon rupture
- Multi-scale mathematical models for tissue repair
- Application of finite element methods
Her recent publications show expertise in medical imaging validation and multi-modal tissue analysis, with applications in cardiovascular systems (mitral valve modeling) and developmental biology (skeletal muscle mineralization). Collaborations span Europe with projects funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation and European Commission FP7.
She actively supervises students and researchers in:
- PhD project on hip pathologies and osteoarthritis
- Computational heart valve simulations
- Achilles tendon characterization
As host of 2024 Engineering Health Seminars, she facilitates cross-disciplinary discussions.
