Dr. Sunita Ho is a bioengineer who focuses on studies related to biomineralization, biomechanics, and biomaterials. She is a Professor in the Department of Urology, School of Medicine, and in the Department of Preventive and Restorative Dental Sciences (PRDS), School of Dentistry. Dr. Ho focuses on site-specific interventions to mitigate the beginnings of pathologic formations of biomaterials in humans. She investigates the regenerative aspects of soft and hard tissue attachments within craniofacial and musculoskeletal joints. Using biomechanics and mechanobiological approaches, Dr. Ho maps the special and temporal aspects of “mechano-responsiveness.”
