The Myers Lab congratulates Nicole Lee on successfully defending her doctoral thesis. Her research investigated the mechanical role of extracellular matrix components in cervical remodeling. Way to go Dr. Lee!

We proposed a new material model that captures the tension–compression asymmetric material responses and the remodeling characteristics of both human and mouse cervical tissue. We present tension-compression mechanical data, nonpregnant vs pregnant comparisons, a full 3-D statistical mechanics model, links to raw data, and material model implementation in FEBio.

We enjoyed having Miccaella Lejwa in the lab this summer as a 2022 SURE Fellow! Her research focused on running computational simulations of maternal anatomy at low risk for preterm birth.
