    Fluorescent Nanodiamonds for Ultrasensitive Viral Diagnostics (Ultrasens-Vir) Life Science Technologies - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    The Ultrasens-Vir project is researching new methods for the diagnosis of viral diseases. The aim is to develop a new diagnostic method based on the application of fluorescent nanodiamonds.

    Functionalisation of smart materials under multi-field requirements for transport infrastructure Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    Research is being conducted into the development of an intelligent "concrete 2.0" that is adaptive and multifunctional as a high-performance material and thus meets the increasing demands on performance and availability in transport infrastructure.

    Functionalized tympanic membrane implant contact for improved medical care in the field of passive and active hearing implants (TYMP-CONTACT) Life Science Technologies, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

    Short description

    The project is researching the development of hearing implants. The surface properties of a tympanic membrane lens are to be optimized for this purpose. To this end, a material platform is to be developed that will make it possible to adapt the surface properties in a targeted manner.

    Fusion of neuromechanical modeling and wearable sensor data to enhance prediction of human movement intention in real-time robotic assistance Artificial Intelligence, Talents - Individual funding programmes – CZS Nexus

    Short description

    Dr. Isabell Wochner conducts research in the field of predictive simulations, machine learning and biomechanics. She holds a doctorate in biomechanics and biorobotics from the University of Stuttgart and was then a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Heidelberg.

    Gene Prediction by Leveraging Unaligned Locus Homology Information (GLUH) Talents - Individual funding programmes – CZS research boost

    Short description
