The journey that began 4+ years ago reached its joyful milestone yesterday at the @UofR’s 176th commencement. Hooding my exceptional PhD graduates at the majestic Eastman theatre is the best part of being a professor. #Meliora#URochesterResearch
Congratulations to Hayley Miller on the successful defense of her MS thesis in @UofRBME ! Hayley developed a stretchable human Tendon-on-a-Chip platform that will support future PhD research in tendon mechanobiology. Congratulations, Hayley, and best wishes for what’s next!
Congratulations to Dr. @IsabelleLinares on successfully defending her PhD in @UofRBME ! Her outstanding award-winning dissertation developed and validated a human synovial tendon-on-a-chip platform to study inflammation-driven tendon fibrosis . Excited to see what comes next!
Congratulations to Dr. Victor Zhang on his outstanding Ph.D. defense at the @UofRBME. As a @ROC_CMSR T32 Pre-doc Fellow and @RocMSTP trainee, Victor co-authored six papers and 1st-author paper in @JOrthopRes. Good luck with the remaining MD portion of @RocMSTP training, Victor.
Trainee Spotlight 🌟We are proud to celebrate our T32 Training Grant fellows as they near the completion of their two-year appointments! Join us in congratulating Christina Kaszuba, Katya McDonald, and Zachary Sechrist for their remarkable contributions to research.
Day 4 of #ORS2026 is underway!
We were happy to kick off the morning by hosting the ICORS Meeting, bringing together global #orthopaedic research leaders to spark collaboration. https://t.co/Hm2hMbyu9g
Outstanding presentation by Tony Yosick at the Bone Quality RIG at #ORS2026!
CNN-driven analysis of full-spectrum Raman spectroscopy from the proximal phalanx shows strong promise for non-invasive assessment of bone quality and fracture risk, capturing what #DXA and #FRAX miss.
Honored and privileged to join the fellowship of current, past and future presidents of @ORSsociety at #ORS2026. I am in awe of the individual and collective accomplishments of this amazing group of leaders.
Day 2 of #ORS2026 kicked off with our Opening Plenary Session. Presentation Address: Suzanne Maher, PhD; Guest Nation: Italy (Gabriella Graziani & Gianluca Vadalà); Guest Clinical Society: SOMOS (Jennifer Smith); Award recipients; Deepak Vashishth, PhD, and Walter Herzog, PhD.
Exciting work presented by @IsabelleLinares at #ORS2026! 🧬 Her novel human synovial tendon-on-a-chip (synToC) models peritendinous adhesions. It reveals synovial fibroblasts drive adhesion via IL-6, and IL-6/JAK/STAT inhibitors can successfully suppress it. #ORS2026#Meliora
#ORS2026 - Come Learn about the synToC & Synovial Fibroblasts (FLS) - A Podium Presentation by
@IsabelleLinares in the Tendon Spotlight Session today at 4:20 pm in Ballroom CD
A great opening plenary session of the #ORS2026 Annual Meeting featuring an inspiring presidential address and an uplifting keynote from modern day Renaissance Man, Dr. Ronan Tynan (@ronantynan)
That’s a wrap on #ORSOpenDoor2026!
Today, students in the Charlotte, NC area explored #musculoskeletal research through talks & hands-on workshops. Thank you to our organizers, volunteers & sponsor @KubtecSciences for inspiring the next generation of #orthoresearchers! 🔬
Shoutout to my #ORS2026 Day 1 crew! 🙌
Flashback to ORS 2025 to spark the excitement. Kicking off the day with #OpenDoor2026, the LearnORS Art of Grant Writing Workshop, tonight's Welcome Reception, and more! View full schedule: https://t.co/x3ZW9p0h6u
On π (3.14) Day, remember: π is irrational, yet defines a perfect order (a circle!). Likewise, nations pursue irrational conflicts for seemingly “perfect” interests. π reminds us that beneath irrationality lies a shared perfect order. Peace begins when we embrace it.
