Today, we had our next joint EFI and SFB/TRR 225 seminar given by Prof. Laura De Laporte (RWTH Aachen, DWI Leibniz-Institute), Prof. Angelika Lampert (RWTH Aachen), and Prof. Rudolf Merkel (Forschungszentrum Jülich). All the three speakers are members of the research training group ME3T "Mechanobiol...
Today, we had our next EFI seminar, organized by Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini, Institute of Biomaterials, and given by Prof. Stephanie Willerth, University of Victoria, Canada. She gave an inspiring talk about “3D bioprinting personalized neural tissues for drug screening”. It was a joint seminar with t...
We had our latest progress meeting via Zoom on 18th September 2020. Since the beginning of the project in April 2019, we were able to develop a new generation of hydrogels that is capable of mimicking specific soft tissues of the human body from the biochemical and mechanical points of view for appl...
Our second virtual EFI seminar was given via Zoom by Prof. J. S. Chen from the University of California, San Diego, USA, on „Manifold Learning Based Data-Driven Modeling for Biological Tissues“. We learned how to integrate machine learning techniques into computational modeling to benefit from both ...
This week, we had our first virtual EFI seminar to adapt to the times of COVID-19. It was given by Dr. Jing Guo and Prof. Ingolf Sack from the Elastography group at Charité Berlin on "MR Elastography of the Brain: Quantitative Mapping of Biophysical and Multiscale Tissue Properties". They gave an in...
Our first EFI seminar in 2020 was given by Prof. Carsten Werner from the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research, Dresden. He presented about his exciting works on "Biohybrid polymer hydrogels based on glycosaminoclycans as a versatile platform of cell-instructive materials", which are highly relev...
Just before Christmas, on 20th of December, we met at the Chair of Biomaterials led by Prof. Aldo Boccaccini to discuss the latest advancements of our EFI project. We summarized and analyzed our recent results and decided about future research directions. We will continue to invite highly interest...
The fourth EFI seminar was held by Dr. Thomas Boudou, Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Physique, Université Grenoble Alpes, France. His work on how cells respond to mechanical forces and the microfabrication of 3D microtissues was very interesting and relevant for the EFI project. Dr. Boudou pres...
End of November Alina Weizel from the University of Rostock visited the group. She is working on modeling the electrical and mechanical stimulation of hyaline cartilage and also collaborates with Prof. Aldo Boccaccini and Thomas Distler from the Chair of Biomaterials (WW7) at FAU (shown on the pho...
In November, David Böhringer and Silvia Budday visited the Institute of Biomechanics led by Prof. Gerhard A. Holzapfel at Graz University of Technology. The aim was to characterize the complex mechanical response of collagen-based hydrogels using the triaxial testing device in Graz.
We were abl...
