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.

It was a great pleasure to deliver a keynote lecture at the workshop on biophysics based modeling and data assimilation in medical imaging hosted by the Weierstrass Institute (WIAS) Berlin. The three days of intense discussions and interdisciplinary talks on multiscale modeling, scientific comput...

In the old tradition, on July 17, we celebrated the end of the semester and a quite successful first half of the year through our annual beergarden visit. There have been many new exciting developments, not least the founding of our new Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics at the Depart...

From July 9-12, the 28th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB2023) was held in Maastricht, Netherlands. The conference endorsed the importance of the integration of mechanistic experimental and computational biomechanics with upcoming data-driven modeling. The conference venue (MECC...

Join an engineer on a fascinating journey through the intricate world of neuroanatomy. At the first EBM harmonization workshop led by Prof. Dr. Friedrich Paulsen, participants gained a deeper understanding of the brain's anatomy through a brief seminar and an assisted brain dissection.

On 4 April 2023, project B01 (Oskar Neumann, PI: S. Budday) and Emmy-Noether research group BRAINIACS  (Nina Reiter, PI: S. Budday) conducted some preliminary experiments on pig spinal cords. The main goal was to gain a feel for producing spinal cord samples and to become familiar with the experimen...

Effective April 1, 2023, PI Silvia Budday was appointed Full Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at FAU and is now heading the Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics - the new 'home' of the BRAINIACS Group. We are so happy and proud to be part of the FAU family and are l...

The team of X03 Boccaccini (DR: Markus Lorke and Sonja Kuth) visited the team of C02 Frischknecht (DR: Bartomeu Perelló Amorós) on 31.03.23 at the animal physiology labs for a lab shadowing and discussion of the planned experiments in the scope of the CRC EBM. Planned experiments will investigate th...

On 21 March 2023, project X03 (Markus Lorke and Sonja Kuth, PI: A.R. Boccaccini) and project C04 (Shanice Heidenreich, PI: A. Boßerhoff) performed their first collaborative experiments. The aim of this collaborative lab work was to familiarise ourselves with the different set-ups of experimental wor...
