Elizabeth L. Brainerd

Elizabeth L. Brainerd (born 1963) is an American biologist who has contributed to our understanding of the evolution of breathing[1] and the biomechanics of vertebrates. She is one of the inventors of XROMM (X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology),[2] a technique for making 3D movies of internal structure that combines CT scanning with biplanar x-ray movies. She is one of the authors of Great Transformations in Vertebrate Evolution.[3]

Brainerd is the Robert P. Brown Professor of Biology professor of Biology[4] and of Medical Science in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.
