Congratulations to Gian Schädli for winning the 2nd BMT Start-Up Pitch Session at the BMT 2022 conference (Joint Annual Conference of the Austrian, German and Swiss Societies for Biomedical Engineering).

Congratulations to Julia Griesbach, a doctoral candidate at the Laboratory for Bone Biomechanics, who was selected for a 2022 ESB Travel Award from the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) for her abstract “Patient specific osteogenesis imperfecta bone organoids demonstrate increased tissue mineralization”. 

Jess Snedeker has been promoted to Full Professor of Orthopaedic Biomechanics as of 1 April 2022. Jess has been an associate professor in the same field at the University of Zurich since 2011, also as a dual professor with ETH Zurich where he is an integral part of the Institute for Biomechanics at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology.

What is ALIVE? And meet a couple IfB researchers.

Congratulations to Jenny Gehlen, who was selected as the Global Winner in the 2021 Global Undergraduate Award program for her Bachelor Thesis entitled "Functional Analysis of Volumetrically 3D Bioprinted Bone-like Tissues", which she conducted in the Laboratory for Bone Biomechanics at ETH Zurich with Dr. Xiao-Hua Qin as her advisor.  

Congratulations to Dr. Jianhua Zhang, who was selected as the winner of an Acta Student Award for his primary contribution to the manuscript "Optimization of mechanical stiffness and cell density of 3D bioprinted cell-laden scaffolds improves extracellular matrix mineralization and cellular organization for bone tissue engineering", which was published last year in Acta Biomaterialia.
