Members of the PRIME Lab attended the 2026 American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, to present our ongoing research in wearable technology, ACLR activity monitoring, and neuromuscular function. It was a great opportunity to share our work, connect with colleagues, and celebrate the hard work of our students and staff!
Postdoctoral scholar HoWon Kim and PhD student Cole Geschwender presented their work at the ACL Research Retreat X in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, April 9-11, 2026.
Congrats to HoWon (Postdoctoral Research Scholar) and Emersyn (Undergraduate Research Assistant) for their victory in the 3rd annual PRIME Lab pickleball tournament!
PRIME Lab Ph.D. student Cole Geschwender recently presented work on physical activity and bone health metrics following ACL reconstruction at the MeTRIC Research Symposium on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at the North Campus Research Complex on the University of Michigan's Campus. Nice work Cole!
PRIME Lab postdoctoral fellow Dr. HoWon Kim was recently highlighted in an article for the University of Michigan Record, which details his career trajectory from taekwondo athlete to researcher and how his experiences as an elite athlete, including sustaining an ACL injury, helped shape his professional interests.
This recognition is very well deserved. We are grateful to have such a wonderful colleague and researcher as part of the PRIME Lab team.
PRIME Lab Webtool
PRIME Lab Webtool is a secure, web-based platform designed to support the research workflows of PRIME Lab. It gives lab members a single, easy-to-use place to manage, explore, and process research data with access through a standard web browser with the University of Michigan login.
The platform helps the team:
Track and submit test and research records, with automatic notifications to keep stakeholders in the loop
Browse and explore research datasets interactively, with certain filtering and custom views
Process and extract data from specialized research equipment files, saving hours of manual work
Manage team access so the right people always have the right permissions
Built with security and reliability in mind, the platform uses the University of Michigan credentials for login and is hosted at prime-labtool.kines.umich.edu.
Coming soon
