Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics
The Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics (LKM) engages enthusiatic researchers working on a wide range of scientific topics that apply experimental and computational mechanics to tackle various interdisciplinary research questions including mechanics of living tissues, biomaterials, and 3D printing. Through the combination of experiments, continuum mechanics modeling, and simulation, we strive to improve our understanding of the mechanical behavior of biological structures and to find innovative solutions at the interfaces of engineering, medicine and biological sciences.
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.
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 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.
