The 1st EBM Retreat took place from September 21st to 22nd, 2023 at the Hotel Arvena Reichsstadt in the small historic town of Bad Windsheim and provided a platform for scientific presentations primarily from doctoral researchers and postdoctoral researchers of the CRC 1540 "Exploring Brain Mechanics." The main objective of this conference was to present the current status of the 19 ongoing research projects and stimulate lively and constructive discussions to strengthen and further develop collaboration between various research projects.

As part of the graduate program, the EBM researchers had the opportunity to gain hands on experience on the autopsy of the human brain. The workshop was hosted by the department of neuropathology of the university hospitals Erlangen and consisted of two parts, the first one being an online introduct...

The monthly Doctoral Researcher Seminar was held on the 20th of July, with Sonja Kuth (X03) taking on the role of the host. The seminar proved to be an insightful and engaging event, with a focus on engineering hydrogels to mimic brain-tissue-like matrices.

Anatomy of Brain Stem and Spinal Cord: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Human Brain through Interdisciplinary Exploration. Led by esteemed experts, this workshop delved into the intricate neural pathways of the spinal cord, fostering collaboration and enriching understanding for EBM researchers from diverse disciplines.

EBM was proud to be a part of the prestigious 93rd Annual Meeting of GAMM held in Dresden, Germany from May 29 to June 2, 2023. Our co-spokesperson, Prof. Silvia Budday, captivated the audience with her invited lecture on 'Novel Modelling Approaches in Structural Stability' at the Young Researchers' Minisymposia.

On 24.05.23 the monthly doctoral researchers (DR) seminar was hosted by Sophia Auer. After an interesting 30min introduction into the background and objectives of the A02, the DRs were given a guided tour of the anatomy department, including the anatomical collection of the institute. During the sem...

EBM was pleased to participate in the prestigious CMBBE International Symposium held in Paris, France, at the renowned Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology. Our researchers, alongside experts from around the world, showcased the capabilities of Computational Mechanics in advancing healthcare systems.

Join an engineer on a fascinating journey through the intricate world of neuroanatomy. At the first EBM harmonization workshop led by Prof. Dr. Friedrich Paulsen, participants gained a deeper understanding of the brain's anatomy through a brief seminar and an assisted brain dissection.

The team of X03 Boccaccini (DR: Markus Lorke and Sonja Kuth) visited the team of C02 Frischknecht (DR: Bartomeu Perelló Amorós) on 31.03.23 at the animal physiology labs for a lab shadowing and discussion of the planned experiments in the scope of the CRC EBM. Planned experiments will investigate th...

On 4 April 2023, project B01 (Oskar Neumann, PI: S. Budday) and Emmy-Noether research group BRAINIACS  (Nina Reiter, PI: S. Budday) conducted some preliminary experiments on pig spinal cords. The main goal was to gain a feel for producing spinal cord samples and to become familiar with the experimen...
