  • Risk factors and Prognostic Implications of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events after Renal Transplantation

    The objective of project is to characterize the incidence and risk factors for MACE after kidney transplantation. This project is an observational study assessing predictors of post-operative MACE in patients enrolled in the STCS who underwent renal transplant surgery in the University Hospitals of Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, San Gallen and Zurich. more

  • Intracranial waves in healthy elderly volunteers

    Determination of craniospinal compliance (i.e. the body's ability to accommodate changes in intracranial volume without substantial increase in intracranial pressure) is an integral component of the diagnostic of diseases such as hydrocephalus. This procedure is however highly invasive. The goal of the present project is to test and validate an alternative non-invasive procedure to measure craniospinal compliance. more

  • Analysis of pathophysiologic signals in hydrocephalus

    The core task of this interdisciplinary master thesis project at the interface of physiology and biomedical engineering is the processing and analysis of invasively acquired pressure signals in various compartments of the body. It is part of a joint research endeavor with the ETH Zurich Product Development Group.   more

  • Fluid mechanical interrelationship of the perilymph and the cerebro-spinal fluid

    The focus of this research is to better understand the biofluid-mechanical interrelationship of the perilymph of the inner ear and the cerebro-spinal fluid. more
