Our group has half a century (sic!) of tradition in research, and clinical application of Cardiac Assist Devices and Artificial Hearts. In close cooperation with clinicians and biomedical researchers in the Ludwig-Boltzmann-Institute of Cardiovascular Research our group develops components and algorithms for these challenging tasks and support the clinicians in the clinical use. Further topics include vascular prostheses, refinement of diagnostic methods and modelling in silico, in vitro, and in bioreactors. The group cooperates with a large number of international academic and industrial partners. Members of the group have been presidents of International scientific societies working in the field, such as ESAO, ISMCS and ICCAC.
