Overview

Greg Wohl is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He is also an Associate Member of the McMaster School of Biomedical Engineering. Greg has three primary areas of interest related to aging and the musculoskeletal system. His primary research focus is bone adaptation to mechanical loading and injury and the influence of aging, diet, disease, and pharmaceutical interventions on bone adaptation. A second area of interest is how injury triggers degenerative processes (e.g., osteoarthritis) in connective tissues. The third area of interest is the design of biomedical implants (e.g., joint replacements) to improve integration with the skeleton.
