Lori Ann Setton (born December 1, 1962) is an American biomechanical engineer noted for her research on mechanics and mechanobiology of the intervertebral disc, articular cartilage mechanics, drug delivery, and pathomechanisms of osteoarthritis.

Biography

Setton was born in Queens, New York. She received a B.S.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University in 1984. She received a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering/Biomechanics from Columbia University in 1988 and a Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering/Biomechanics from Columbia University in 1993.

She joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University as an Assistant Professor in 1995. She was promoted to associate professor in 2004, and professor in 2007.

Her most noticeable work has documented the biological responses of cartilage and intervertebral disc to mechanical loading[1][2][3][4][5][6] understanding a role for collagen genetic mutations in onset of arthritis and intervertebral disc pathology[7][8] development of injectable hydrogels for articular cartilage repair[9][10][11][12] and development of injectable drug delivery vehicles for fighting inflammation in musculoskeletal disease.[13][14][15][16][17]
