Our BME group conducts research within diagnostic ultrasound imaging,
biomedical signal processing, cellular signalling, neural stimulation, and
biomechanics. Center for Fast Ultrasound Imaging continues the efforts
towards the development of the ultrasound scanners of the future with
better spatial resolution, image contrast, and depth penetration in human
soft tissues.
Our biomedical signal processing research specializes in automatic multi-modal
signal acquisition, analysis, classification and interpretation for con-tinuous
monitoring of hospitalised as well as home care patients. Another
focus in signal processing concerns brain-computer interface (BCI) tech-nology,
which assists disabled people with severely impaired motor systems
to communicate with the outside world.
In cellular signalling we aim at understanding selected cellular signalling
processes and use this knowledge to control collective cellular behaviour.
This involves mathematical models of the signalling, binding and transport
which is at the heart of bacterial biofilm formation. This leads to continued
improvements of treatment strategies of biofilm infections in immuno
compromised patients and patients with implants. Research areas within
biomedicine and biomechanics focus on cardiovascular solid and fluid
mechanics as well as biomechanics of the locomotor system.
