Mission
The Laboratory of Biomechanical Orthopedics (LBO) is dedicated to the advancement of techniques and technology for patient care in the musculo-skeletal system, through fundamental research, applied research, and teachingCurrent work
Through biomechanical considerations, Dominique PiolettiBiography
Dominique Pioletti received his Master in Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in 1992. He pursued his education in the same Institution and obtained his PhD in biomechanics in 1997. He developed original constitutive laws taking into account viscoelasticity in large deformations. Then he spent two years at UCSD as post-doc fellow acquiring know-how in cell and molecular biology. He was interested in particular to gene expression of bone cells in contact to orthopedic implant. In April 2006, Dominique Pioletti was appointed Assistant Professor tenure-track at the EPFL and is director of the Laboratory of Biomechanical Orthopedics. His research topics include biomechanics and tissue engineering of musculo-skeletal tissues; mechano-transduction in bone; development of orthopedic implant as drug delivery system. Since 2013, he has been promoted to the rank of Associate Professor.Publications

Engineering of musculoskeletal system and rehabilitation
This course presents today research questions and methods associated to the musculoskeletal system, its pathologies, and treatment.
Experimental methods in biomechanics
The aim of this course is to allow the students to become familiar with the basic techniques to measure the mechanical properties of different musculoskeletal tissues or biomaterials used in tissue engineering.
Biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system
The basis for a mechanical description of the musculoskeletal system are presented. This description is based on the concepts of solid mechanics, physiology and anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Concrete examples of the development of implants are also covered.
