Timeline

1956

Richard (Rick) L. Lieber (born December 14, 1956) is an American scientist in the field of muscle physiology.

Lieber is Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Vice-president at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Professor of Physiology, Biomedical Engineering & Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, and Senior Research Career Scientist at the Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Administration Hospital.

He is internationally recognized as an expert in skeletal muscle structure and function.

His research focuses on skeletal muscle properties in individuals with neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy.

Dr. Lieber was born in Walnut Creek, California, the son of a big band musician and hospital administrator.

1978

After graduation from Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, he completed a B.S. in physiology in 1978 at University of California, Davis.

1983

In 1983, he earned his Ph.D. in biophysics from University of California, Davis, applied a theory of light diffraction to study mechanical properties of muscle cells and was one of the first to use the Intel 8080 microprocessor to control a biological system in real-time.

He was also a Biomedical Engineer at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in San Diego from 1983 to 2000.

1985

Lieber was hired as an assistant professor at UC San Diego in 1985, promoted to associate professor in 1990, and promoted to Professor in 1994.

2002

Nicolas Andry Award, American Bone and Joint Surgeons, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, May 2002

2007

Giovanni Borelli Award, American Society of Biomechanics, August, 2007.

The Göteborg University Medal, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, June 2007.

Fulbright Scholarship (Sweden), 2007

June 2011.

2012

Fellow, American Society for Biomechanics, July 2012

Outstanding Research Award, International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS), Göteborg, Sweden.

2013

He received his M.B.A. in 2013 from Rady School of Management, University of California, San Diego.

Gayle G. Arnold Award, American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine, October 2013

Kappa Delta Award, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, February 2013, Chicago, IL.

2014

He was recruited as the Chief Scientific Officer at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) in 2014 to lead the research enterprise in this new translational rehabilitation research hospital.

Lieber has published over 350 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals ranging from basic science such as The Journal of Cell Biology to clinical research such as The Journal of Hand Surgery.

He is an established expert in using biological approaches to understand muscle contractures in neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, stroke and spinal cord injury.

Lieber's work includes the development of pharmacological and surgical interventions to improve muscle function in individuals with neurological conditions.

He has made significant contributions to the field of muscle physiology, especially in the area of in vivo muscle measurements, and he is frequently referenced by colleagues.

His most often cited paper is “Functional and clinical significance of skeletal muscle architecture” in the peer-reviewed journal Muscle & Nerve with 1447 citations.

His work has over 34,000 citations in the scientific community and his h-index is 91.

In addition to his publications in peer-reviewed journals, he authored the textbook, “Skeletal Muscle Structure, Function, and Plasticity,” which explores basic and applied physiological properties of skeletal muscle.

Lieber’s career is marked by significant professional collaborations with international colleagues and organizations, including Jan Fridén, M.D.,Ph.D. at Gothenburg University, Eva Pontén at the Karolinska Institute, and Allistair Rothwell at Christ Church, New Zealand.

Lieber also serves as a member of the scientific advisory board of the NFL and has six patents on surgical techniques, methods to measure muscle fibers, and methods to administer stimulation to skeletal muscles

Lieber has received a number of awards and honors throughout his career.
