BMlab

The laboratory employee Lukas Warnung has left KL and Dr. Hanns Amri succeeds him as the person in charge. 

New experiments in dynamic testing of biomaterials and human meniscus were developed and used in new projects.

Activities & Events 

May 2022

NEW TU Wien Lecture: "Biomechanical Testing of Bone and Orthopedic Implants" 
© kl/a.reisinger

On May 10, the second part of the TU Vienna lecture took place in the BMLAB of KL. Among other things, a bone was embedded and tested. In this way, the young scientists became interested in the KL and biomechanics. In this way, young scientists could be interested in the KL and biomechanics and the connection between the TU and the KL could be strengthened.

June 2022

New Elective Seminar in the field of biomedical engineering for medical students at the KL. Project title: Design and build a tablet dosing machine using Lego Mindstorm and 3D printing.
