Millions in funding for research into smart implants

The interdisciplinary Collaborative Research Center/Transregio 298 SIIRI (‘Safety-Integrated and Infection-Reactive Implants’) will receive more than ten million euros from the German Research Foundation (DFG) over the next three and a half years to continue developing the implants of tomorrow. SIIRI received funding for the first time four years ago. Since then, more than 150 scientists from Hannover Medical School (MHH), Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig, the Technical University of Braunschweig and the University of Music, Drama and Media Hannover have been working together to develop innovative strategies for improving implant safety.
