Engineers for Medicine

We are a research team of the University of Pisa, composed of mechanical and biomedical engineers with expertise in

Orthopaedic Biomechanics

Biotribology

Cardiovascular Biomechanics

and, in general, mechanics of biological and biomedical materials and vibrations.

Here you can find some examples of our skills and past activities. We would be glad to develop new synergies cooperating with industries and other researchers.

Advanced Finite Element Analyses

Advanced models were developed to deal with non linearities, geometry update, contact, dynamical features etc, for simulating

Advanced Finite Element Analyses

In our lab we have some experimental rigs, partially developed by ourselves, to test tissues and small specimens, as

Other activities

Through the years we  have designed some devices and software tools, 

Angioplasty and aneurysms with non linear, fiber based, behaviour

Middle ear response

Collaborations

We have the advantage of collaborating closely with the Biomaterial experts of our Department, in addition to other research groups, as EndoCAS (Pisa), Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli (Bologna), Lab LAB (Università di Roma Foro Italico).
