![]() Tweet to @spinesinspace Jeannie Bailey, PhD, (@spinesinspace) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCSF and Director of the Physical Function and Biomechanics Research Core within REACH (UCSF Core Center for Patient-centric, Mechanistic Phenotyping in Chronic Low Back Pain). She received her BS from the University of California, Berkeley and PhD from the University of Washington. She completed her post-doctoratal training within the UCSF in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and was a CTSI TL1 Precision Health Fellow. Her research explores novel methods for identifying clinical-relevant biomechanical phenotypes and exploring potential interactive mechanisms between separate musculoskeletal pain phenotypes. Her collaborative research team is part of the Musculoskeletal Research Consortium (METRiCS), where she is actively developing, testing, and deploying precision-based digital health technology to enhance both clinician and patient engagement in treatment and recovery. She is jointly appointed within the UC Berkeley Bioengineering Program and the UCSF Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences. |
Erin Archibeck is a UC Berkeley Mechanical Engineering PhD student at the Berkeley Biomechanich Lab. She is co-advised by Dr. Grace O'Connell and our lab's own Dr. Jeannie Bailey. Erin received both her BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame. Her current research focuses on utilizing spinal and lower extremity motion in conjunction with the onset of pain to improve the understanding of hip-spine pathology, compensatory mechanics, and the source of axial lower back pain. Erin's inital interest in biomechanics came from her love of running. She spends a lot of her free time exploring different Bay Area running trails with her dog, Roo.
