BMlab

This year there were some changes in the BMLab. Lukas Warning left the KL and Dr Hanns Amri took over the coordination tasks. In addition to existing projects, new mechanical tests were conducted in the area of dynamic testing of biomaterials and mechanic properties of human meniscus.

Acht TU-Student_innen konnten am 10. Mai einen halben Tag die KL und das BMLAB kennenlernen. Unter anderem wurde  ein Knochen eingebettet und getestet. So konnte der wiss. Nachwuchs für die KL und die Biomechanik interessiert und die Verbindung TU und KL gestärkt werden.

Juni 2022

Neues Elective Seminar im Bereich Medizintechnik für Medizin Studierende an der KL. Das Projekt: Eine Tabletten Dosiermaschine gebaut mittels Lego Mindstorm und 3D Druck.
