Basic and applied research in orthopaedics and trauma surgery
Following in the tradition of Julius Wolff, we explore the interplay between mechanics and biology in bone and muscle. Motivated by clinical necessities, we concentrate on basic and applied research in orthopedics and trauma surgery.
Our Focus
Understand - the interaction between movement and loading within joint replacements and during fracture healing
Enable - musculoskeletal mobility
Initiate - regeneration in challenging healing situations, such as delayed bone healing, bone defect healing, muscle trauma, ligament injury and arthrosis.
JWI Network
Inspiration - Our research teams have the opportunity to develop their ideas into joint reserach projects with the support of modern team coaching and seed funding provided by the ECRT.
Education - All our PhD Students and Postdocs are members of the BSRT Graduate School and supported by the mentoring infrastructure.
Translation - We develop innovative therapies by applying biomechanical, mechano-biological and osteo-immunological concepts. Translational approaches are supported by infrastructures of the BCRT.
Regeneration - Essential for our clinically motivated research is the close interaction with our partner clinics CMSC with whom we have built a focus on "movement research".

The Hitchhicker's Guide to regenerative Therapies: The Role of Space and Time in Healing Processes
BSRT Symposium 2019
Much like an intergalactic traveler is dependent on a precise understanding of space and time, regenerative medicine aims at navigating safely through the intricate spatiotemporal microenvironments that determines successful healing.
