This is the private website of Bergita Ganse, the professor for Innovative Implant Development (Fracture Healing) at Saarland University in Germany, an Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Physiologist. My main fields of research are the musculoskeletal system in spaceflight, immobilization and ageing, as well as smart implants and wearables, bone fractures and biomechanics. I am also a book author.
Recent highlights:
New review paper published on methods to accelerate fracture healing. Find details here!
We have got a research project coming up in Antarctica with the European Space Agency. On Antarctic station Concordia, we will conduct musculoskeletal research with the staff that stays there over winter. Combined hypoxia in 3200 m altitude and confinement in total darkness may lead to changes in muscle and cartilage composition. Find details on the station here!
