We were delighted to welcome Dr. Elizabeth Zimmermann, Assistant Professor at McGill University’s Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences and Associate Member of Biomedical Engineering, for a recent research visit to our group.

Dr. Zimmermann’s work focuses on the structure–function relationships in mineralized tissues such as bone, exploring how hierarchical architectures contribute to mechanical resilience and how aging, disease, and treatments affect these properties. During her stay, she shared insights from her studies combining advanced imaging, materials characterization, and biomechanics.

Her visit sparked stimulating discussions and opened avenues for future collaboration, particularly at the interface of materials science, biomechanics, and biomedical imaging. We thank Dr. Zimmermann for her inspiring contributions and look forward to continued exchange.
