Overview
The Cerebrospinal Fluid Laboratory is an international collaborative research center dedicated to investigation of the underlying biomechanical and hydrodynamic mechanisms responsible for pathologies of the cerebrospinal and cerebrovascular systems.
Purpose
- foster collaboration and discussion between cerebrospinal fluid and cerebrovascular researchers
- provide in vivo and in vitro experimental data to computational researchers
- increase interest in cerebrospinal fluid and craniospinal disorder research
Projects
Available projects (research)
- non-invasive assessment of local arterial compliance by simultaneous ultrasound and tonometry measurements
- Measurement and characterization of cough induced subarachnoid space pressure wave reverberations during lumbar puncture
Available projects (medtech R&D)

- implementation of a 4DMR flow sequence
- What is the relative distribution of spinal subarachnoid space volumetric compliance in healthy subjects?
- Does CPAP influence cranial blood flow in healthy volunteers?
- Are changes in intracranial pressure detectable by measurement of the cerebrospinal fluid velocity wave speed in the spinal canal?
- in vitro and in silico modeling of CSF wave transmission in the spinal subarachnoid space
