PD Dr. Vera Colombo is a group leader at the Center for Dental Medicine at the University of Zurich. Her research primarily focuses on the biomechanics related to the orofacial area, particularly in monitoring patients with orofacial pain. Dr. Colombo's main projects investigate the mechanics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the role of biomechanical factors in the development of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Her studies specifically examine the influence of TMJ anatomy and kinematics on dynamic joint loading during functional movements using computational models and in vitro testing techniques. Additionally, she is involved in developing innovative methods for assessing masticatory muscle activity and relevant biosignals both in laboratory conditions and through field measurements for TMD patients.
