***REMINDER: The Deadline for Discounted Registration is this Friday, May
1st, 2009***
We would like to invite you to attend the 2009 Injury Biomechanics Symposium
which will be held May 17th through May 19th, 2009 at The Ohio State
University in Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of the symposium is to stimulate
and reward strong injury biomechanics research among students and recent
graduates. Attendees can expect original biomechanics research in a forum
intended to foster communication between developing and established
researchers.
We are pleased to announce that 11 universities from around the world will
be participating in the symposium. The symposium will feature 8 oral
presentations and 10 posters. A small sample of the experimental and
theoretical topics to be discussed includes:
Liver Injury Testing
Airbag Effectiveness
Frontal Bone Blunt Impact Trauma
Cervical Spine Instrumentation Technique
Material Properties of Pediatric Ribs
Head-First Impact Simulation
Inverse Dynamics Based Determination of Cervical Spine Loads
Other Symposium events will include:
- Welcome reception including food and drinks at the Varsity Club
- Keynote Address by Guy Nusholtz, executive consultant and senior manager
in the Experimental and Computational Mechanics department at Chrysler
- Guest speakers including
- Mary Roach, New York Times bestselling author of Stiff: The Curious
Lives of Human Cadavers
- Karla Zadnik, OD PhD, Chair of the Biomedical Sciences IRB and IRB
Policy Committee for Ohio State
- Valerie K. Bergdall, DVM, DACLAM; OSU University Laboratory Animal
Resources
- Kathy Smiler, DVM, DACLAM; Veterinary Consultant, Laboratory Animal
Medicine
- Banquet at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe & Arcade
