معرفی
Ilse Jonkers is a full Professor at the Faculty of Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences, Department of Human Movement Sciences, KU Leuven. She directs the iSi Health Institute for Physics-based Modeling for In Silico Health and co-founded the LISCO Institute for Single Cell Omics.
Her research bridges in vivo movement analysis, in vitro bioreactor experiments, and multi-scale computational modeling to study how mechanical loading affects musculoskeletal tissues in health and disease. Key focus areas include cartilage mechanobiology, osteoarthritis progression, and advanced imaging techniques.
Recent publications highlight her group's work on 3D hydrogel systems for OA research, dynamic unloading of intervertebral discs, and predictive gait simulations for cerebral palsy. Her team develops tools like the MATE cloud-based load assessment system for ergonomics.
