Research

During the EBM Doctoral Seminar from Shanice Heidenreich (C04) and Michael Tranchina (A04) at the Institute of Biochemistry on March 21, 2024, we explored the interplay between cellular mechanics and differentiation. Both projects use hydrogels with adjustable stiffness, which are provided by Sonja Kuth and Markus Lorke (X03) from the laboratory of Aldo Boccaccini.

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.

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 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.
