Julian Hasselmann receives add-on fellowship from the Joachim Herz Foundation
We congratulate our research assistant and doctoral student Julian Hasselmann on receiving the Add-on Fellowship from the Joachim Herz Foundation!
The foundation supports outstanding researchers in the early stages of their careers who are working in interdisciplinary and socially relevant fields. Acceptance into the fellowship provides financial and non-material support as well as access to a strong network of committed young researchers from all over Germany.
The fellowship will advance research on our activatable anti-infective implant coating. The aim of the project is to optimize the extracorporeal activation of coated implants using focused shock waves to enable the controlled release of antimicrobial agents. In particular, the project will focus on the development of a novel testing system for the precise characterization of energy transfer under clinical conditions and the investigation of various implant materials and shock wave systems.
The project thus not only contributes to the development of a clinically relevant activation protocol, but also makes an important contribution to a more resource-efficient and sustainable approach to healthcare. The research addresses key issues for the future, such as health, technological innovation, and responsible use of resources.
We are delighted to receive this award and look forward to further collaboration and scientific development!
