Biography
Dr. Benjamin Infantolino is an associate professor at Penn State Berks. Dr. Infantolino's research interests focus on muscle mechanics; specifically, how to measure muscle properties in vivo and the variability associated with these properties. His work uses multiple levels of muscle size (cellular to whole joint) as well as both experimental and computational methods. Dr. Infantolino teaches functional human anatomy, neurobiology of motor control and development, and cadaver dissection in the cadaver lab at Penn State Berks.
