Danube
University Krems, Center of Biomedical Technology
Description
of the organisation
As
the first public university for postgraduate education in Europe, Danube
University Krems is dedicated to setting the benchmark in advanced further
education on the European continent.
Danube University Krems meets the social
challenges of lifelong learning; a process which it considers a flexible
development of interdisciplinary linkage between teaching and research, science
and practical experience. All programs of study are determined according to
highest international quality standards and lead to academic degrees.
The
Center for Biomedical Technology at the Danube University Krems, focuses on the
development of new technologies in the field of extracorporeal blood
purification, new electronic sensor and monitoring techniques and on the
establishment of state-of-the-art experimental programs for testing biological
materials.
The
primary activity of the center to develop "intelligent" systems for
blood purification that allow for specific elimination of pathophysiologically
relevant substances from blood or plasma. Membrane modules, in combination with
either a suspension of recirculating microadsorbers, or with particles coated
with hepatocytes (bioartificial liver), are the basis of adsorption/membrane -
supported systems.
The
center has set up working areas in Biochemistry and Medical Materials, Cell
Biology and Biotechnology, Electronics and Process Technology. The center
collaborates with institutes at the Vienna Technical University, University of
Vienna, University for Agricultural Sciences (Vienna), University of Graz, and
also with R&D institutes in Glasgow, Tianjin (China), Pilsen and Berlin.
The
secretariat of the ESAO (European Society for Artificial Organs) was established
at the Center for Biomedical Technology in 1995. The Christian Doppler
Laboratory for "Specific Adsorption Technology in Medicine" has also
been established in the Center for Biomedical Technology.
Contribution to CARiMan
Electronic
R&D group - main areas of expertise:
The
electronic research and development group has some skills in building new
electronic devices and sensor systems for biomedical and technical purposes. Its
official tasks are research and development in the areas of industrial
electronics, sensor technologies, signal processing, remote sensing, simulation
of electronic systems, RF design, RF measurement techniques and the
environmental relevance of these topics.
We
have experience in medical sensor design for more than 10 years. Each of the
researchers of this group has his own focus to a different topic in sensor
theory. This has turned out to be the basis for our success in different
projects.

Dr.
Martin Brandl
He was born Krems, Austria, in 1970. He
received the Dipl. Eng. degree in communication engineering and the doctoral
degree in technical science from Vienna University of Technology in 1997 and
2001, respectively. He was an Assistant Teacher at the Department of Industrial
Electronics and Material Science at Vienna University of Technology, from 1998
to 2001. In 2001 he joined the Center of Biomedical Technology as head of the
electronic R&D group at the Danube University Krems. His research interests
are in the areas of biomedical sensor development, RF and microwave circuit
design and measurements.
