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.

At the beginning of 2023, after approval by the DFG in November 2022, the CRC 1540 "Exploring Brain Mechanics" officially started. This report covers the very successful first year and presents the results of the joint research and interactions. Get ready for the exciting research in EBM.

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.

Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini, Head of the Institute of Biomaterials, Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) has been elected Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE), the highest honor the global biomaterials community can bestow on outstanding biomaterials scientists, which is awarded by the International Union of Societies for Biomaterials Science and Engineering (IUSBSE).

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.

On October 21, 2023, the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1540 "Exploring Brain Mechanics" (EBM) participated in the Long Night of the Sciences in the Erlangen, Fürth, and Nürnberg region. In a captivating presentation, EBM opened its doors to the interested public, providing insights into various facets of its research. The event spanned across five locations.

On the 12th of October, EBM Researchers were brought to the knowledge of the “Good Scientific Practice“ by Dr. Christian Schmitt-Engel who held a lecture on the topic at the Interdisciplinary Center for Nanostructured Films (IZNF).

From October 9 to 11, Nina participated at the annual GAMM Juniors Fall Meeting at ETH Zürich. The GAMM Juniors are a group of 30 young researchers with exceptional achievements in the fields of applied mathematics and mechanics (https://www.gamm-juniors.de/). The purpose of the annual meeting is to...
