Professor Mark Taylor

Professor Taylor has over 25 years in experience in orthopaedic biomechanics and has spent time in both academia and industry. After completing his PhD at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London (1997), he has worked for Finsbury Orthopaedics (1997-1999), the University of Southampton (1998-2012) and Flinders University (2012 – to date).  Prof Taylor’s main area of research is the applications of in silico medicine to orthopaedics, with research spanning diagnosis of osteoporosis to pre-clinical testing, in silico clinical trials and surgical planning of total hip and knee replacements.   Recently, he has focussed on assessing the ability of computational models to predict in vivo performance, which is an essential step to enabling the wider adoption of these tools in routine clinical practice.
