Prof. Dr. Annegret Mündermann Ph.D. is the Head of the Functional Biomechanics Research Group at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the University Hospital Basel and Adjunct Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel, Switzerland. She received her PhD in Medical Science/Biomechanics from the University of Calgary, Canada, and has held research and teaching positions at Stanford University (USA), University of Otago (New Zealand) and University of Konstanz (Germany). Her research focuses on the role of biomechanics in the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis, understanding and improving diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases, and in vivo mechanosensitivity of articular cartilage. She is a member of the International and European Societies of Biomechanics (ISB, ESB), Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI), German Society of Clinical Movement Science (GAMMA), and Society of Traumatology and Orthopaedics in Sports (GOTS) and board member of the German Society of Biomechanics (DGfB).
