Biography
Since August 2011 Jess Gerrit Snedeker has been Associate Professor for Orthopedic Biomechanics at ETH Zurich (dual-professorship, University of Zurich).
Research Interest
The Orthopedic Biomechanics laboratory (headed by Prof. Snedeker) focuses on three primary research areas: mechanical/biological based understanding of tendon disease and healing; micro-mechanical cell-biomaterial interactions and their implications for therapeutic success; and clinical biomechanics for improving existing orthopedic implant design and for the development of novel implants.
