Biography

Chantal’s research used imaging-based approaches to understand how the skeleton’s response to metabolic and mechanical challenges influences long-term bone health. Her PhD thesis investigated pregnancy- and lactation-associated changes in maternal bone and identified adaptations that preserve mechanical function. Her research in Calgary uses multimodal imaging to evaluate skeletal responses to midfoot stress fractures and acute knee injury. She focused on evaluating microstructural changes after stress fracture and developing dual energy CT-based methods to image injury-associated bone marrow edema. In 2021 Chantal started work at Invicro (https://invicro.com) in Boston, USA, which is now called Perceptive.
