Our Resources
- JRSI Lab
- The Orthopaedic Biomedical Engineering Laboratory is located in the John T. Myers Center for Technological Research with Industry on the beautiful Rose-Hulman campus. The unique relationship between Rose-Hulman and JRSI creates an extensive and diverse assembly of research testing facilities. Working with JRSI, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in clinically relevant orthopedic research. Working side-by-side with surgeons, faculty and engineers, you’ll learn to design, execute and present scientific research to improve joint-replacement medical devices. You may also have the opportunity to conduct studies to evaluate the performance of existing medical equipment.
