The Taylor Collaboration is a consortium of professional educators, clinicians, and researchers. The core of The Taylor Collaboration is its biomechanics laboratory, located at St. Mary’s Medical Center Campus in San Francisco, California. The Taylor Collaboration is a not-for-profit organization administered by a board that includes engineers, clinicians, and members of the general public with expertise in healthcare administration. The focus of The Taylor Collaboration is principally in Orthopaedics, but we also support biomechanics-focused projects in pediatric surgery, podiatry, general surgery, and neurological surgery. The laboratory specializes in mechanical testing of medical devices, with a particular emphasis on orthopaedic implants.
