The 1st Retreat of the Collaborative Research Centre CRC /SFB 1540 “Exploring Brain Mechanics” (EBM) took place on 21-22 September 2023 in Bad Windsheim. Mr Markus Lorke (PhD student on the project) and Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini attened the meeting. The CRC benetifs from the expertise of engineers, physicists, biologists, medical researchers, and clinicians in Erlangen and Berlin to exploit mechanics-based approaches to advance our understanding of the function of the central nervous system  and, as a long-term vision, the CRC is expected to provide the foundation for future improvement of diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.In this CRC, our Institute leads Project X03 “Engineering brain tissue-like matrices”.
