We’re excited to share highlights from the opening tour of our new Biomechanics lab in Uferstadt Fürth! It was a pleasure to welcome our colleagues and neighbors as we presented the lab, its purpose, and potential. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and those who have made this possible —w...

We had so much fun during our 2-day retreat at Brombachsee, combining science, sun, and time to relax together. New setting and nice break form the lab!  

A heartfelt thank you to CMBBE 2024 conference! We are truly grateful for the opportunity to participate in the CMBBE 2024 Conference in beautiful Vancouver. A big thank you to the organizers, speakers, and attendees who made this event unforgettable. Until next time, Vancouver!

Exciting news from the WCCM 2024 conference in Vancouver! A big thank you to everyone who attended Dr.-Ing. Silvia Budday and Nina Reiter 's talks at the WCCM conference!

Between June 3rd and 7th, the 9th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS) took place. Amidst a vibrant ambiance with a view of the sea in Lisbon, Portugal, researchers from across the globe, particularly Europe, shared their research. It was great ...

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.

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.

On November 23, 2023, Tomeu Amorós (C02) and Sebastián Sepúlveda (A05) hosted the (post) doctoral researchers seminar at the Institute of Animal Physiology
