Our purpose

From discovery to the field — at scale.

The Emory Human Performance Institute connects Emory’s research, clinical and partner sites so discoveries about human movement, injury and recovery reach the people who need them, faster.

Mission

Mission statement — to be approved by EHPI leadership

Vision

Digitally optimized athletes — performance and injury risk understood for every body.

Who we serve

Youth to professional athletes, tactical and military populations, Veterans and patients.

How we work

Discover. Translate. Scale.

01
Discover

Uncover the mechanisms behind injury and peak performance — from muscle and joint to brain.

02
Translate

Turn discoveries into tools: biofeedback, assessments, imaging and digital athlete models.

03
Scale

Deliver those tools to athletes, warfighters, Veterans and patients — on the field, in schools and in clinics.

What we study

Six research themes.

Injury preventionMechanistic, targeted neuromuscular training and risk prediction.
BiomechanicsMarker-based and markerless motion capture, scaled from lab to field.
NeuroscienceBrain–body function during movement and the neural signatures of pain and injury.
ImagingQuantitative musculoskeletal MRI, dynamic X-ray and functional 3D joints.
VR / AR & sensorimotorScalable sensorimotor assessment and neurocognitive rehabilitation.
Tactical & blastBrain health and occupational blast exposure in service members and Veterans.
