Research Interest
The primary objective of the research in Professor McNamara's group is to delineate the normal mechanosensory and signalling mechanisms of bone cells. The secondary objective is to determine whether bone tissue mechanics or mechanobiology are impaired during osteoporosis. The final objective is to develop in vitro approaches that can enhance bone tissue regeneration and thereby advance treatment of bone pathologies.
