Akron, Ohio, United States
Dr. Alexandria (Lexie) Mallinos is an Associate Research Scientist at Akron Children's Hospital. Dr. Mallinos earned her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Akron, followed by a Master of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics from Eastern Michigan University. She completed her PhD in Applied Biomedical Engineering at Cleveland State University, where her groundbreaking research integrated finite element analysis into pediatric anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) biomechanics.
Dr. Mallinos specializes in pediatric orthopedic biomechanics, particularly in simulation-based approaches aimed at improving outcomes in knee injuries and spinal deformities. She uniquely integrates her clinical background in orthotics and prosthetics with her expertise in engineering, allowing her to bridge clinical practice with advanced biomechanical modeling. She has conducted extensive research validating computational models for injury mechanisms, orthotic interventions, and surgical planning. Dr. Mallinos also completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the renowned biomechanics group at Polytechnique Montréal, where she focused on deterministic modeling of spinal fusion procedures for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. With numerous high-impact publications and a commitment to translational research, Dr. Mallinos combines clinical insights with advanced engineering techniques to enhance patient care in orthopedics and prosthetics.
