CRC 1270 “Electrically Active Implants” retreat in Hasenwinkel, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
The latest retreat of the DFG funded Collaborative Research Centre (CRC /SBF 1270) – Electrically Active Implants (ELAINE) took place on 6-7 November 2019 in Hasenwinkel, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini attended the meeting and presented the latest results of the project “B01 – Electrically conductive and piezoactive materials for multifunctional implants for bone and cartilage regeneration”, which is being carried out in collaboration with Prof. Hermann Seitz, Chair of Microfluidics, University of Rostock (pictured) and his group. ELAINE (spokesperson: Prof. Ursula van Rienen, University of Rostock) is developing a new family of electrically active implants for the regeneration of bone and cartilage, and for deep brain stimulation to treat movement disorders.
