How can we detect and prevent brain injuries?

Futurum

Participants wear cutting-edge, flexible sensors which track how their heads move in different situations. Using knowledge of how physics and biology influence the brain, Christian’s team can analyse the output from this computer model to understand which head movements are likely to result in injury.

Shining a light on the role of trace metals in neurodegenerative diseases

Futurum

A team of researchers with expertise in physics, engineering and biology are finding out whether trace metals in the brain are linked to neurodegenerative diseases. This gives each element a unique set of energy levels – a signature that shows up when X-rayed. FIELD OF RESEARCH : Metallomics, Biomedical Engineering.
