Reni’s research skills lie in utilizing biomechanical instruments to perform mechanical testing on musculoskeletal tissues and to develop a quantitative, imaging biomarker to characterize the mechanical properties of tissues through imaging. Reni has worked with various mechanical and imaging instruments. Mechanical instruments include: Dynastat, Isomet precision saw, Biomomentum Mach-1 and Instron 5565A Biomechanical testing machines, and Exakt 312 pathology saw. Imaging instruments include: MRI 3T Scanner and Skyscan micro-CT scanner. Reni also has exposure to the application of chemistry and biochemistry techniques to characterize the structure and composition of tissues to understand the contribution to the mechanical properties of musculoskeletal tissues.
Reni Biswas, B.S., research interests lie in the development of non-invasive imaging techniques to improve patient care by providing physicians with a unique tool to improve the diagnosis and understanding of disease and injury, and to direct treatment. Her academic background in bioengineering has allowed Reni to focus her interests in magnetic resonance imaging of the musculoskeletal system in which she has integrated her knowledge of the biomechanical behavior of tissues to further knowledge about the etiology of various musculoskeletal diseases.
