Description

The module "Trends in Medical Engineering 1" deals with current aspects of medical technology. The topics are selected within current trends. Examples can be: minimally invasive heart valve replacement, additive manufacturing in medical technology, cell-based therapies, dialysis technology, multimodal imaging, tissue engineering and biohybrid systems.

In addition to a lecturer's presentation, the topics will be treated and discussed on the basis of current scientific literature. In this interactive course, students learn how to deal with scientific literature by identifying the most important contents of scientific publications and presenting them to the group.  This is intended to introduce the students to the newest research results and discuss them with the lecturers.

The module is complementary to the module "Trends in Medical Engineering 2". The two modules are independent of each other.
