Biography
Marc Levenston is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in Radiology. His primary research interests center around the function, degeneration, and repair of articular cartilage and fibrocartilage, with a significant focus on the complex interactions between biophysical and biochemical cues that control cell behavior. Current research areas include exploring the mechanisms and functional implications of cell-mediated tissue degeneration in cartilage and meniscus, and developing novel imaging techniques for the non-destructive assessment of cartilage composition. His work emphasizes understanding the mechanical and chemical cues provided by the matrix that influence the development of engineered tissues.
