Development of biomedical devices

An improved understanding of the mechanical behavior of native tissues
and biomedical materials and the ability to perform computer-​based
simulations and mechanical analysis represent valuable resources for the
development of biomedical equipment for therapy or diagnosis. In close
collaboration with medical doctors and biologists, we work on
simulations to better understand the interaction of these devices with
the human body, and devise improved solutions. Another aspect concerns
transferring tissue characterization techniques from in-​vitro to
in-​vivo applications, e.g. as diagnostic methods to detect changes
related physiological or pathological processes in the human body.
