Adele Changoor

Dr. Changoor completed her undergraduate degree in Biological Engineering at the University of Guelph followed by a Master’s degree where she performed biomechanical studies to evaluate equine subchondral bone lesion repair. She then completed a PhD at École Polytechnique Montreal in the laboratory of Michael Buschmann where she developed novel methods of cartilage evaluation that were used to evaluate a cartilage repair device, which is now approved for clinical use. During her postdoctoral fellowship she began to study electroarthrography, a non-invasive method for evaluating cartilage quality. She is now a staff scientist at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute with a primary academic appointment in the Department of Surgery and does biomedical research in the areas of orthopaedics and arthritis.
