Looking forward to visiting DTU Health Tech 🇩🇰 next week! Many thanks Prof. Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz & Dr. Tatiane Eufrásio-da-Silva for the kind invitation to present our results @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de and to explore new research collaborations!

With (part of) our group @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de @matscifau.bsky.social we welcomed our international visitors and the arrival of Spring in #Erlangen yesterday, with coffee ☕️ and cakes 🍰 Many thanks to all who came, it was fun! 15 countries were represented! 🇮🇳 🇬🇷 🇧🇷 🇹🇷 🇦🇷 🇩🇪 🇦🇿 🇮🇹 🇷🇴🇮🇷 🇨🇴 🇨🇳 🇪🇨 🇧🇬 🇵🇰

Happy to announce that our @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de new Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope with integrated incubator has been installed! Very useful for our #bioprinting #biofabrication projects #SFB_TRR225 We are thankful to the @dfg.de and the Free State of #Bavaria for the support!

Many congratulations! 👏👏 to Mahshid Monavari for successfully defending (online) her doctoral thesis @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de u.de today. Very nice work on 3D printed hydrogel-bioactive glass #nanoparticle #composite scaffolds for bone regeneration and wound healing. Well done Mahshid!

Many thanks to Prof Frank Walther and colleagues @dfg.de Research Unit FOR 5250 for the invitation to give a keynote on our @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de work on bioactive glasses at the Industry Colloquium at @tu-dortmund.bsky.social #tudo Very interesting networking meeting and discussions!

Happy to continue the coordination of Working Group 3 #Biomaterials within 🇪🇺 KMM VIN (with Prof. Christian Hellmich, TU Vienna). The #Network offers great opportunities for EU collaboration in materials science and engineering @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de @matscifau.bsky.social ➡️ kmm-vin.eu

We @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de organised the latest scientific meeting of @dfg.de Research Unit “Bioinspired Anti-Fatigue” (FOR 5657) in #Erlangen Great presentations,👏discussions and collaboration opportunities. Exciting project. Many thanks to all participants!

Productive retreat of the Dept. of Materials Science & Engineering @matscifau.bsky.social at #FAU @fau.de to discuss our future strategy. Great strenghts of the Department in terms of research outputs, extramural funding and teaching quality➡️ #Materials Science in #Erlangen has a bright future!

It was great to co-chair with Dr. M. Michálek the 2nd Biomaterials Research Day at FunGlass_Centre 🇸🇰 featuring top presentations by early career researchers from #FunGlass and @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de 🇩🇪 showcasing #biomaterials advances and results of our joint projects. Well done!👏

Many thanks to alumnus Associate Prof. Kai Zheng from Nanjing Medical University 🇨🇳 for visiting us last week to discuss collaboration with our Institute @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social @fau.de @matscifau.bsky.social in the field of #biomaterials /bioactive glasses for #stomatology & tissue engineering.

Successful "Update Meeting" of the @dfg.de funded Collaborative Research Center (CRC 1540) “Exploring #Brain #Mechanics” (EBM) @ebmresearch.bsky.social with excellent presentations and insightful discussions. Looking forward to expanding collaborations in this field! @fau.de

We welcome our international visitors in Winter 2025, including visiting professors, post-docs, PhD and undergraduate students from 13 (!) different countries. Many thanks for having selected our Institute @boccaccini-lab.bsky.social in #Erlangen 🇩🇪 to carry out your research projects!
