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.
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.
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.
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...
On November 23, 2023, Tomeu Amorós (C02) and Sebastián Sepúlveda (A05) hosted the (post) doctoral researchers seminar at the Institute of Animal Physiology
On November 9th, 2023, the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1540 "Exploring Brain Mechanics (EBM)", hosted an interactive workshop centered on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and its application to the study of frog brain.
