Medical implants often do not heal in the human body without side effects. In addition to unwanted interactions, infections or premature implant wear and failure can occur. New technologies open up innovative starting points for improvements at the interface between humans and technology. By establishing models and simulations as well as data-based prediction, for example, a prediction can be made about different processes at this interface. Scientists from six faculties and research institutes at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have joined forces to develop innovative applications at the interface between humans and technology. In a 2-day retreat at Wanzleben Castle, the course was set for 9 research projects. The clinical focus is on applications in neuroscience, orthopedics and thoracic surgery. The TACTIC Graduate School (spokesperson: Prof. Dr. J. Bertrand) brings together the scientific expertise available at the site in medicine, neuroscience, materials science, computer science and AI. The research program is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) with €4.1 million until 2027.
