Kate Meyers works in the dual role of Research Engineer and Lab Manager. She joined HSS after receiving her BS and MS in Biomechanical Engineering from Syracuse University.
She collaborates with clinicians, residents, and fellows across all surgical services to bolster their biomechanics acumen while furthering their research interests. Kate’s expertise is in experimental design with recent research focused on spine and hip kinematics, hip arthroplasty, and wrist and elbow stability.
As the Lab Manager, she explores new technologies to further the capabilities of the research group, trains engineers and students on both equipment and experimental methods, directs core mechanical testing needs for the department, and acts as a primary contact for surgeon-driven research.
Kate has been a member of the Orthopedic Research Society since 2006 and reviews for various journals including Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research.
