SJB 2009
Our Institute organized The ‘Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics’ (SJB 2009), which was held from 1-4 September 2009 in Engelberg, Switzerland (http://www.sjb2009.ethz.ch).
The Workshop was dedicated to the theme “Biomechanical Imaging: from Nano to Macro”. SJB 2009 brought together roughly 100 actively participating scientists and industry representatives from Japan and Switzerland and strengthened the relationship between the two countries’ biomechanics and bioimaging communities for future advancement in the life sciences. In particular, the Workshop gave an in depth overview of recent progress in the quantitative description, modeling and simulation of biomechanical processes driven by novel bioimaging approaches.
