TACTIC Graduate School: Innovative approaches for safe and durable medical implants
Medical implants often do not heal in the human body without side effects. In addition to unwanted interactions, this can lead to infections or premature implant wear and failure. New technologies open up innovative starting points for improvements at the interface between humans and technology. By establishing modelling and simulation as well as data-based prediction, for example, it is possible to predict different processes at this interface.
Scientists from six faculties and research institutions at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have joined forces to develop innovative applications at the interface between humans and technology. During a two-day retreat at Wanzleben Castle, the course was set for nine research projects. The clinical focus is on applications in the neurosciences, orthopaedics and thoracic surgery.
The TACTIC Graduate School (spokesperson: Prof. Dr J. Bertrand) brings together the scientific expertise available at the site in medicine, neuroscience, materials science, computer science and AI. The research programme is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF ) with €4.1 million until 2027.
