Lighting the way

Forefront Of Research

The neuroimaging work is the foundation and driver of our research, as it provides mechanistic knowledge to develop new interventions that are in turn tested with assessment of neuromuscular control via biomechanics. The applied clinical arm of the lab represents the final stage of this process with direct pragmatic benefit to the clinical community.

Team

Our Team Is Paving The Way

Our team consists of highly talented and motivated individuals who specialize in many aspects of sports science and medicine. 

Interested in joining the laboratory? We are always seeking serious scientists to join our team! 

For doctoral and post-doctoral trainees the expectation is a demonstrated track record of success and prior formal training in sports medicine, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, biomechanics, or related fields.

We have similar expectations for undergraduate students, and undergraduate students are expected to be available for at least 10 hours/week for a minimum of one full year. For more information, contact Dr. Grooms at groomsd@ohio.edu, Dr. Simon at simonj1@ohio.edu, or Dr. Anderson at m.anderson@ohio.edu
