Aesculap AG agrees to participate in neuroloop GmbH and invest in a University of Freiburg spinoff
Ordonez, Group Leader at the Biomedical Microtechnology Lab, was appointed as Junior Research Fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). His research proposal “A novel mechanical model for safe electrical stimulation” targets a fundamental and innovative reliability model for implantable thin-film electrodes under electrochemical loads.
His original and scientifically relevant project proposal entitled “Effects of neuroprosthetic intervention’ is one out of 20 selected ideas to be discussed and elaborated within a 1-week multidisciplinary workshop together with multiple experts in the field.
High blood pressure is the greatest health risk worldwide behind smoking and alcohol consumption. In Germany, around 25 percent of the population suffers from arterial hypertension, as the condition is referred to in medical circles. The microsystems engineers Dr. Dennis Plachta and Prof. Dr. Thomas Stieglitz from the Laboratory of Biomedical Microtechnology at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) of the University of Freiburg teamed up with the neurosurgeons Dr. Mortimer Gierthmühlen and Prof. Dr. Josef Zentner from the Medical Center – University of Freiburg to develop a new cuff equipped with electrodes that can lower blood pressure without causing side effects.
Freiburg researchers have developed electrodes that help amputees to grasp at objects
Scientists from Freiburg Build a Microimplant that Uses a Laser to Control Individual Nerve Cells
Dr Dennis Plachta's poster on selective stimulation of the vagal nerve was awarded the 2nd prize in the BMT 2012 poster competition of the 46th Conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering within the VDE (DGBMT) in Jena, 17-19th September 2012.
