2013

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that Sandra Hofmann, who is currently a Group Leader at the Institute for Biomechanics and an Assistant Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology, has been awarded an ERC Starter Grant and almost at the same time a Marie Curie Career Integration Grant for her work on "Real-time monitoring of load induced remodeling in tissue-engineered bone". These awards come with a total research support of 1.6 million Euro.

We are pleased to announce that together with our collaborators at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, University of Iceland and the Icelandic Heart Association we have won a competition with our Ph.D. project proposal entitled: „What Predisposes a Hip to Fracture - A Retrospective FE Hip Fracture Study Based on the AGES-RS Data“.
