IMCS Researchers Present Their Latest Work at CMBE 2026 in Kobe

10 Juli 2026

Our colleagues Martin Frank and Sebastian Brandstäter participated in the 9th CMBE: Computational and Mathematical Biomedical Engineering International Conference, held in Kobe, Japan, from June 22–24.
 
Sebastian presented joint research with Christian Cyron (TUHH) and Alessio Gizzi (Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma), introducing a computational framework for human gastric peristalsis. Their work integrates gastric electromechanics with intricate spatial parameter heterogeneities to enable predictive simulations of the large deformations that occur during peristalsis in both health and disease.
 
Martin presented recent developments in his computational framework for simulating the deployment of braided flow diverters in patient-specific cerebral aneurysm geometries. His talk demonstrated how device geometry and deployment conditions influence the final device configuration highlighting the potential of computational modelling to support patient-specific treatment planning.
 
In addition, Sebastian chaired the mini-symposium Personalization and Uncertainty Quantification in Digital Twins for Medical Applications, which he co-organised with Argyrios Petras, Matthias Gsell, and Elias Karabelas. The symposium showcased state-of-the-art methods for uncertainty quantification and propagation in medical digital twins, alongside approaches to model personalisation through detailed anatomical modelling and multi-patient studies.
 
Congratulations to Sebastian and Martin on presenting their research at #CMBE2026. They returned with fresh ideas, new collaborations, and plenty of inspiration for future research. Many thanks to the organisers and all participants for an excellent conference.
