Prof. Delia Brauer, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, visits the Institute of Biomaterials
On 10th May 2024, we received the visit of Prof. Delia Brauer and Dr. Coralina Chartier, from the Professorship for Bioactive Glasses, Otto Schott Institute of Materials Research at the Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences, Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. After the successful completion of our previous DFG funded project on advanced characterisation of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics (see for example refs. /1-3/), we started the plans for a new research collaboration and will focus on new tools to characterise and assess the in vitro bioactivity of bioactive glasses of different compositions. Prof. Brauer and Dr. Chartier visited also our laboratories.
