Jillian E. Beveridge, PhD, is a researcher at the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Skeletal Health and Repair at Rhode Island Hospital and member of the faculty of the Bioengineering Laboratory of Lifespan and Brown University. She is an assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
Her research is focused on the mechanisms that drive post-traumatic osteoarthritis after intra-articular joint injury. Her expertise is in orthopedic biomechanics and post-traumatic osteoarthritis using video-based motion analysis, biplanar video radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage and ligaments in translational animal models and in clinical studies.
Dr. Beveridge earned a doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of Calgary, and then completed two fellowships: one in mechanical engineering also from the University of Calgary (McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health), and a second in orthopedic surgery from The Warren Alpert School of Medicine.
She founded the Movement and Biomechanics Laboratory at the Cleveland Clinic, where she was a member of the staff of the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute and an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Case Western Reserve University before joining the faculty in the bioengineering laboratory at Rhode Island Hospital.
Dr. Beveridge has been a contributing senior author to many peer-reviewed manuscripts and has presented 37 abstracts. She has received and managed grant funding and was a recipient of the highly competitive National Institutes of Health K99/R00 Pathway to Independence award. Dr. Beveridge has additionally received national and international recognition for her scientific contributions, including the Early-Career Award from the Journal of Orthopaedic Research for her collaboration with Braden Fleming, PhD, director of the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Skeletal Health and Repair, in using imaging approaches to estimate ACL properties and PTOA risk after surgery.
