Welcome to the Institute for Biomechanics (IfB)

The Institute for Biomechanics (IfB) is dedicated to the biomechanical and mechanobiological study of the human body across all scales, while maintaining ethical standards and a philosophy of respect and compassion for all life. Our mission is to investigate and characterise structural and functional properties of the musculoskeletal system. Challenges involve studying adaption and regeneration throughout life, in health and disease, and in response to mechanical demands. Building on this foundation, we aim to develop, refine and utilise multidisciplinary tools and concepts to provide a translation of understanding and techniques into clinical practice for repair or regeneration, ultimately to improve societal well-being.
