On March 20, 2024, the 5th EBM Harmonisation Workshop took place, where twelve participants of the EBM Integrated Research Training Group recently delved into the intricate processes underlying early brain development during an immersive workshop.

We are very pleased to announce the induction of Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows. This prestigious honor recognizes his pioneering contributions to bioengineering and highlights his impact on regenerative medicine, drug delivery and 3D bioprinting. Prof. Boccaccini's election, which highlights his outstanding achievements, took place during the AIMBE Annual Event in Arlington, VA, USA, on March 25, 2024.

Tauche ein in die faszinierende Welt der Zellmechanik und -differenzierung mit Shanice Heidenreich (C04) und Michael Tranchina (A04) vom Institut für Biochemie. Entdecke, wie Hydrogele mit einstellbarer Steifigkeit unser Verständnis von zellulärem Verhalten voranbringen.

The Consortium on Exploring Brain Mechanics met on February 9 at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, to provide a comprehensive progress update on all ongoing projects within its purview.

On January 19, Erica Cecchini (A02) and Soheil Firooz (C01) hosted the first Doctoral Researchers’ Seminar in 2024 at the Institute of Applied Mechanics.

At the beginning of 2023, after approval by the DFG in November 2022, the CRC 1540 "Exploring Brain Mechanics" officially started. This report covers the very successful first year and presents the results of the joint research and interactions. Get ready for the exciting research in EBM.

At the end of the first EBM year 2023, Jan Hinrichsen and Nina Reiter (subproject A01) had the opportunity to stay in the Living Matter Lab of EBM Mercator Fellow Ellen Kuhl at Stanford University in California, USA.

Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini, Head of the Institute of Biomaterials, Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) has been elected Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE), the highest honor the global biomaterials community can bestow on outstanding biomaterials scientists, which is awarded by the International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE).

In November 2023 Soheil Firooz did a research stay at the University of Cape Town, focused on finite element analysis of convection-diffusion problems. This research stay proved to be an intellectually invigorating experience. Collaborating closely with Professor Daya Reddy, a distinguished figure i...
