Walter Herzog

Professor Walter Herzog research focuses on the neuro-biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, more specifically on the mechanisms of muscle contraction with emphasis on the role of the structural protein TITIN, and on joint biomechanics, especially on the mechanisms of onset and progression of osteoarthritis. His specialty is in the area of growth, healing and adaptation of soft tissues (ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage) and hard tissues (bones). Within this area, HE develops experimental and theoretical work at THE molecular/cellular level, in vitro, in situ and in vivo.
