Introducing SIIRI at the 55th BMT Annual Conference in Hannover
The 55th annual conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering (BMT) took place from October 5th to 7th, 2021, in Hanover and was a particularly significant moment for us. During this conference, we had the opportunity to present the Collaborative Research Center Transregio TRR 298 “Safety-integrated and infection-reactive implants” (SIIRI) for the first time in a special session to a broad professional audience. Led by Prof. Dr. Meike Stiesch, spokesperson of the research consortium, we presented groundbreaking and innovative approaches for the further development of implants. The topics presented provided deep insights into the immense potential of SIIRI research, which will significantly shape the future of implant technology.
The following lectures were held as part of the session:
- Prof. Dr. Henning Menzel
Enzyme-responsive nanoparticles and coatings as drug release systems to fight implant-associated infections - Dr. Katharina Doll, Dr. Andreas Winkel, Prof. Dr. Ines Yang, und Prof. Dr. Meike Stiesch
Single Cell Force Spectroscopy to Analyze Bacterial Adhesion on Implant Materials - Dr.-Ing. Christian Klose
New Biocompatible Materials for Active Stimulus-responsive Dental Implants - PD Dr. Martin Durisin
Sensory Cochlea Electrode through Detection of Critical Processes at the Electrode-Nerve Interface - Dr.-Ing. Meisam Soleimani
Simulation of Multi-species Bacterial Coaggregation in Dental Implants
Our participation in the BMT Annual Conference emphasized the significance of our work and the progress we have already made at this early stage of research. We look forward to advancing these developments and delivering groundbreaking solutions in the field of implant research in the coming years.
