Abstract       

 I will share my experience working as a biomedical research scientist in this seminar. Orthopaedic research has been widely studied to solve orthopaedic surgery problems. In the 1980s, motion analysis, such as gait analysis, had been applied to objectively evaluate the patients pre- and post-operative. Many researchers used computer simulation and in-vitro mechanical tests to understand the injury mechanism and design new instrumentations or devices for the treatment modalities. With four decades past, all in vivo and in vitro tests and research are still working on new problems developed in orthopaedic surgery. Market-driven or science-driven topics were frequently discussed at many orthopaedic conferences. As research scientists, how will we help our medical industry is very important nowadays? Please join this seminar; we can discuss this topic further.
