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.
Aidan Foley (@aidanfoley_) is a medical student at UCSF School of Medicine. He received his BA In Philosophy from Yale University and his Pre-Medicine Post-Baccaluaureate from Bryn Mawr College. His current research is built on his interests in orthopaedic outcomes, motion analysis, biomechanics and bioengineering, and joints and muscles. When Aidan isn't studying or contributing to orthopaedic reserach he can be found playing basketball and spending time outdoors.
Jessica Ornowski is a Staff Research Associate in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCSF. She received her BS in Bioengineering with a Minor in Data Science from the University of California, Berkeley. While working in this lab she has devolped and analyzed the efficacy of different algorithms used to quantify muscle fat in clinical MRI sequences. She also assists lab members in general data analysis and anatomical image segmentation. When she's not working Jessica loves being outside as much as possible, whether that's running, hiking, skiing, playing soccer, or just hanging out in the park with friends.
Lucas Dziesinski is a medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York and is a visiting scholar at UCSF. He received his BS in Business Administration and Finance from the University of San Francisco and his Pre-Medicine Post-Baccaluaureate from Columbia University. Lucas is currently using novel MRI image analysis techniques to understand paraspinal muscle fat distribution and its relation to biomechancial function. Lucas's main focus wasn't always medicine. Before he started medical school, his career was in aviation as an airline pilot and flight instructor. When he's not studying, flying, or coding, Lucas spend his time playing with synthesizers.
