2017

We are pleased to inform you that Dr. Esther Wehrle was selected for an SGV Travel Grant from the Swiss Laboratory Animal Science Association (SGV) to attend the CRISPR Workshop on “Practical Aspects of Precision Biology” at the University of California in Berkeley from 10-14 July 2017.

We are pleased to inform you that Gianna Marano was selected for an ETH Medal for Outstanding Master Thesis for her master thesis entitled “Bone Modeling and Remodeling and Its Mechanobiological Control in Young Females with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis”.

We are pleased to inform you that Felicitas Flohr was selected for the ECTS Basic 'Ask your Peers' Poster Awards at the 44th Annual Congress of the European Calcified Tissue Society (ECTS) for her contribution “IDG-SW3 osteocytes extend processes in micro-3D printed lacunocanalicular network-like structures - a novel in vitro 3D biomimetic osteocyte model”.

We are pleased to inform you that Ariane Scheuren, a doctoral student at the Institute for Biomechanics, was selected for a 2017 ESB Travel Award from the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) to attend the 23rd ESB Congress from 2-5 July 2017 in Seville.

Professor Ralph Müller, Head Laboratory for Bone Biomechanics, has received an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council (ERC) for his MechAGE project. With that grant, the ERC is financing Müller‘s research on in vivo single-cell mechanomics of bone adaptation and regeneration in the aging mouse. The funding is 2.5 Million Euro over the next five years.
