Hello, everyone! I hope that your week has been going well and you and your families have been remaining healthy. My name is Caroline Kopack and I am a junior at Saint Mary’s College. I have been working in Dr. Young’s Locomotion Lab for almost three years now, and I am so happy to be taking over the ACL research project this semester. As a former athlete that suffered from several ankle, knee, and hip injuries, the ACL project and the research conducted by the Locomotion Lab encouraged me to get involved in research as a freshman. I am currently working towards a major in biology with an emphasis on molecular biology. I am also working towards a double minor in Spanish and chemistry. After Saint Mary’s, I plan to go to medical school to study internal medicine and specialize in sports medicine.
There are several exciting changes coming to the ACL project that we have started implementing this semester. We are expanding our research parameters to include college-age male and female students from Holy Cross College and Notre Dame University (in addition to new Saint Mary's College participants). It is our hope that adding these participants will allow us to compare knee function across men and women with and without a history of ACL injury. I am excited to be working with Dr. Young, the ACL team, and the other members of the Locomotion Lab to take our research in a new and exciting direction. Comments are closed.
