Welcome
The Neurohydrodynamics and Medical Technology Lab (NMTL) is led by Dr. Bryn Martin in conjunction with the Laboratory of Hemodynamics and Cardiovascular Technology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL). We investigate the pathophysiology of craniospinal and cerebrovascular disorders from a hydrodynamic and biomechanical perspective and develop related medical technologies.
The purpose of neurohydrodynamics.com is to:
- foster collaboration and discussion between medical doctors and engineers
- provide in vivo and in vitro experimental data for improving modeling capabilities
- increase interest in heurohydrodynamic disorder research
