On December 17, Kristina Karandasheva (C03) and Lars Bischof (C05) led the Doctoral Researcher’s Seminar, where they shared the latest findings from their collaborative research.

As part of the qualification program, EBM doctoral researchers attended the seminar “Maximizing Publication Potential: Essentials of Scientific Writing” in November 2024. Led by Deborah Bennet, the hands-on sessions provided strategies for crafting impactful scientific texts, from structuring ideas to refining clarity and style.

On November 13, an interdisciplinary workshop on neuroimaging was organized by Prof. Arnd Dörfler and PD Stefan Rampp. The program featured an introduction to clinical neuroimaging, advanced imaging techniques, and a hands-on session where participants analyzed epilepsy cases, progressing from simple to highly complex scenarios.

The 2nd EBM Retreat took place on October 10 and 11, 2024, at the Fraunhofer Research Campus in Waischenfeld, nestled in the beautiful Franconian Switzerland. This retreat offered an excellent opportunity for researchers to present their work, engage in networking, and collaboratively explore new ideas.

On October 10, 2024, Daniel Wehner was honored with the prestigious Rising Star Award by the International Society for Regenerative Biology (ISRB). This award recognizes emerging scientists who are pioneering new approaches in the field of regenerative biology and whose research has made a lasting impact.

On October 8, 2024, the latest (post-)doctoral researchers' seminar was held at the Leuchs-Russell Auditorium, located in the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. The seminar featured presentations by Oskar Neumann (Project B01: In silico Modeling of Spinal Cord Regeneration) and Maria Tarczewska (Project B02: Pre- and Post-Metamorphosis Spinal Cord Regeneration in Frogs).

On September 21, 2024, the event "Das Gehirn – Musikalische Erkundungen" at Matthäuskirche Erlangen merged science and organ music into a unique audiovisual experience. Organized by the CRC 1540 "Exploring Brain Mechanics" (EBM) with KMD Susanne Hartwich-Düfel and ITM media studios at FAU, it explored the brain’s world.

Discover "Das Gehirn - musikalische Erkundungen" on September 21, 2024, at the Matthäuskirche in Erlangen. Immerse yourself in a unique fusion of science and music, presented by Susanne Hartwich-Düfel (organ), the Collaborative Research Center CRC 1540 "Exploring Brain Mechanics" and the Media Studio of ITM. Experience scientific lectures accompanied by organ music that vividly illustrates the complexity of the brain.

We are pleased to announce the 2nd EBM Retreat, scheduled to take place from October 10th to 11th, 2024, at the Fraunhofer Research Campus in Waischenfeld. For further details and the program schedule, please download the program flyer by clicking here.

At the seminar on July 12, Yashasvi Verma and Laura Ruhland presented project X01, focusing on reconciling ex vivo and in vivo data. L. Ruhland discussed hydrogels' testing, sparking lively debate, while Y. Verma highlighted modeling vascular structures in the brain for MRE experiments.
