Our Mission
Our mission at the REACH lab is to spearhead
Clinical-based, biomedical engineering and human performance-related research
Toward a broad range of impaired and unimpaired populations. We seek to find
New applications of technology to improve human performance for everyone.
Our facilities are utilized to help all our researchers gain new knowledge and to prepare students to work as biomedical engineers.
We are a research laboratory located at The University of Massachusetts Lowell and out of the Biomedical Engineering department. Our Principal Investigator is Dr. Lara Thompson
