About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Cole is an Associate Professor in the Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University within the Engineering faculty. She earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 2007, an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 2004, and a B.M.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Auburn University in 2001. Joining the faculty in 2013, Cole directs the Orthopaedic Mechanobiology Lab, integrating biological and mechanical approaches to investigate bone interactions with vasculature, muscles, and nerves. Her research aims to uncover mechanisms of bone deficits and deformities in conditions including stroke, brachial plexus birth injury, obesity, aging, and pediatric scoliosis, with the goal of developing therapies to prevent or treat bone loss and musculoskeletal dysfunction. The lab utilizes high-resolution computed tomography, materials characterization techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, nanoindentation, mechanical testing, cellular and molecular assays, and finite element modeling.
