Suitability of exoskeleton robots in practical use for nursing ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Other organizations: Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Working in the field of nursing can become a backbreaking job when it comes to daily routines such as bed chair transfer of patients. Robotic support such as exoskeleton devices might bring the desired relief for health care personnel. Remains the questions if there is any available device that is f Biomechanical Engineering, Clinical Engineering, Human Movement and Sports Science, Mechanical Engineering, Nursing, Rehabilitation Engineering Master Thesis

Laser diode based nanosecond pulsed light sources for optoacoustic microscopy ETH Zurich Functional and Molecular Imaging Optoacoustic microscopy combines optical contrast with penetration depth of ultrasound allowing functional and structural imaging in highly scattering biological tissues. Cost and bulkiness of conventional lasers decrease applicability in clinics which could be avoided by using pulsable LEDs. Biomedical Engineering, Optical Physics Master Thesis, Semester Project

Investigation of brain vasculature and proteinopathies in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease ETH Zurich Functional and Molecular Imaging We aim to investigate the relation between brain vasculature abnormality and amyloid/tau deposits in three mouse lines (APP/PS1, arcAbeta, P301L) using novel imaging probes and cutting-edge optoacoustic imaging system.

Modelling cardiac mechanics and function ETH Zurich Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance The aim of the project is an in-silico replica of a patient’s heart starting from Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging which will guide clinical evaluation of cardiac function, predict disease progression and augment MR data with low resolution and/or missing details. Biomedical Engineering Master Thesis

5D optoacoustic (photoacoustic) tomography ETH Zurich Functional and Molecular Imaging Optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging has been the fastest growing imaging modality since first in vivo applications were demonstrated in the early 2000s. The Multi-Scale Functional and Molecular Imaging Group (ETH Zürich and University of Zürich) has pioneered five dimensional (real-time multi-spectral three-dimensional) optoacoustic tomography and demonstrated its unique capabilities in biomedical research. This approach has also been shown to offer promising prospects for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of many conditions in the clinical setting. We offer Master projects in both physical and life sciences covering the following topics - Development of new systems (hardware) - Development of reconstruction and processing algorithms (software) - Biological studies in neuroscience, cancer, cardiovascular biology and others. Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, Medical Biotechnology Master Thesis
