Excited for #CMBBE2024 in Vancouver! 🎉 Join us at the 🧠Brainiacs Lab talks: 👩‍🔬 @NinaReiter5 INFLUENCE OF POSTMORTEM DEGRADATION ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HUMAN BRAIN TISSUE Session: Finite Element Biomechanics ⏲ 31 July 2024 - 04:30pm 📍 MR 2301

🎉 Congratulations to our Brainiacs member, Nina Reiter, for winning the student poster competition in the Computational Biomedical and Biological Systems category at the #WCCM2024 conference! 🏆 #Congratulations #BrainResearch #ProudMoment #WCCM

🌟 A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended @SilviaBudday and @NinaReiter5 's talks at the #WCCM conference! 🌟 Looking forward to connecting and collaborating further!💡

🌟Our Brainiacs member @NinaReiter5 is at the #WCCM2024 conference in #Vancouver, where she presented her research on the "Direction-dependent mechanics of human corpus callosum and lower brain stem." 🧠

🌟 Our Brainiacs Team will be presenting at the hashtag#WCCM conference in Vancouver today! Join us as we showcase our latest research on the region-specific properties of human brain tissue 🧠 @SilviaBudday (25.07.2024, 10:25) @NinaReiter5 (25.07.2024, 10:45)

Our colleague Jan Hinrichsen attended the ESB conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he presented his research on "Viscoelastic Region-Specific Inverse Parameter Identification for Human Brain Tissue." 🧠📊 #ESBConference #BrainResearch #TeamBrainiacs

🚨 FAIL OF THE WEEK: When Brainiacs Lab tries to 3D print a cylinder and ends up with abstract art instead. 🎨😂 #InnovationGoneWrong

🌎🌍🌏 Our @Brainiacs_Lab and @EBM_research PhD students Mohammad Saeed Zarzor and Yashasvi Verma presented their latest findings on human brain modeling at the 9th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering @ECCOMASofficial 🌟

🧠🎹Something exciting is coming!🎹🧠 Stay tuned for more details soon...

📢 Das Team Brainiacs sucht eine studentische Hilfskraft (HiWi) (m/w/d) im Bereich Biomechanik zur Unterstützung im Labor bei der mechanischen Charakterisierung weicher biologischer Materialien (8-12 Stunden/Woche).

Extending a huge thank you to Dr. Kevin Linka (IFAM, Aachen University)! His talk on 'Data-driven material modeling for soft biological tissues' highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration in advancing scientific understanding 🧠 #InterdisciplinaryResearch

Big thanks to Dr. Hagen Holthusen (Ifam, Aachen University) for joining us for lunch before his insightful talk on "Material discovery with inelastic Constitutive Artificial Neural Networks (iCANNs)" yesterday. Engaging discussions fuel innovation! #MaterialScience #AI

Our computational model in project B01 (PI @SilviaBudday) effectively simulates and characterizes the viscoelastic mechanical response of the human spinal cord via nano-indentation. #Pictureoftheweek #FiniteElementSimulation #EMBresearch Provided by: Stephen Melly

We had a blast at GAMM conference 2024 in Magdeburg! Catching up with friends, getting feedback, and forging new partnerships was amazing. Big thanks to the organizers! 🙌 #GAMM2024 #Conference #Magdeburg

Last week we had an inspiring Doctoral Seminar in Zell am See! 🏔️ Researched TPM, biomechanics, model order reduction, uncertainty quantification, machine learning and much more at ISD. Collaboration with @Brainiacs_Lab from FAU on the topic of brain mechanics.🧠
