Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics 2009 (SJB 2009) Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics 2009 (SJB 2009) Biomechanical Imaging: from Nano to Macro 2 S 0 Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics 2009 SJB 0 B 9 September 1-4, Hotel Europe, Engelberg, Switzerland DATE: September 1-4, 2009 VENUE: Hotel Europe, Engelberg, Switzerland HOST: Institute for Biomechanics, ETH Zurich http://www.sjb2009.ethz.ch Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB 2009) Aim and Scope The Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics 2009 (SJB 2009) aims to bring together actively participating scientists in the biomechanical communities of Japan and Switzerland for academic discussion and intercultural exchange. SJB 2009 will focus on biomechanical imaging at all hierarchical levels, beginning at sub-cellular dimensions up to the whole organ. Our vision is to strengthen the relationship between the biomechanics and bioimaging communities for future advancement in the life sciences. In this spirit, the scientific motivation for this workshop is to give an overview of recent progress in the quantitative description, modeling and simulation of biomechanical processes driven by novel bioimaging approaches. Although the focus will be on biomechanical imaging, other areas of biomechanics exploring the different hierarchies from nano to macro will also be considered and featured in special sessions. Background The Swiss-Japanese cooperation on biomechanics originates from the close personal relationship between Profs. Jean-Jacques Meister (EPFL, Switzerland) and Kozaburo Hayashi (Osaka University, Japan). They have been exchanging scientific information for a long time as their laboratories have common biomechanical research subjects. Within this framework, they performed a three-year joint research project between 1996 and 1999 with the financial support of the Monbusho International Scientific Research Program from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Japan. During this program, faculty members and graduate students in both laboratories often visited their counter laboratories for joint studies on the functional adaptation and remodeling of biological tissues, and on cellular mechanics. Within this connection, they organized the SJB "New Directions in Cellular and Tissue Engineering" held in Les Diablerets in September 2001 (co- organizers Profs. Jean-Jacques Meister and Kozaburo Hayashi), which was continued by the Second JSB on Biomechanics on "New Trends in Biomechanics: from Biomolecule to Tissue" held in Kyoto in September 2005 (co-organizers Profs. Masaaki Sato at Tohoku University, Japan and Nikolaos Stergiopulos at EPFL, Switzerland). - 2 - Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB 2009) Venue Location Situated in the heart of Switzerland, at the foot of Mount Titlis (3238 m), Engelberg-Titlis (www.engelberg.ch) is the largest winter and summer resort near Lake Lucerne. The history of Engelberg goes back to the time of the founding of the Benedictine monastery (1120), which up until today has strongly Engelberg valley flight shot (© Engelberg- influenced the life of this alpine Titlis Tourismus AG, photo: Christian Perret) community. During the 18th century, more and more tourists from all over the world found their way to the Engelberg valley. The impressive mountain scenery enthralled them, as testified in numerous writings of the time. In particular, Mount Titlis was climbed for the first time in 1744. Later in the 19th century, Engelberg developed into a modern health resort. Guests came from near and far to recuperate and to seek relief from their ailments, and Engelberg became popular as a health resort with clean air and a mild climate. There were soon insufficient guesthouses to accommodate the every increasing number of guests, so hotel complexes with beautiful gardens grew up, where some of them offered spa and cures. Accommodation In this tradition, the workshop will take place in the Hotel Europe (www.hoteleurope.ch), a charming grand old hotel from the turn of the 19th century in authentic Art Nouveau style, which is surrounded by an impressive panorama of mountain peaks. It opened in 1905 as the most luxurious hotel in Hotel Europe, Engelberg (© Engelberg-Titlis Engelberg and continues to impress Tourismus AG, photo: Christian Perret) with its incomparable charm and the comfort of 21st century amenities. - 3 - Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB 2009) Swiss National Scientific Committee Prof. Stephen Ferguson (University of Bern) Prof. Petros Koumoutsakos (ETH Zurich) Prof. Edoardo Mazza (EMPA Dubendorf) Prof. Jean-Jacques Meister (EPFL Lausanne) Prof. Bert Müller (University of Basel) Prof. Dominique Pioletti (EPFL Lausanne) Prof. Dimos Poulikakos (ETH Zurich) Prof. Robert Riener (ETH Zurich) Dr. Karsten Schwieger (AO Davos) Prof. Jess Snedeker (University and ETH Zurich) Prof. Nikolaos Stergiopulos (EPFL Lausanne) Prof. Viola Vogel (ETH Zurich) Japanese National Scientific Committee Prof. Toshiaki Hara (Niigata University) Prof. Kozaburo Hayashi (Okayama University of Science) Prof. Hidehiko Higaki (Kyushu Sangyo University) Prof. Takeo Matsumoto (Nagoya Institute of Technology) Prof. Jiro Sakamoto (Kanazawa University) Prof. Masaaki Sato (Tohoku University) Prof. Shigeru Tadano (Hokkaido University) Prof. Kazuo Tanishita (Keio University) Prof. Takashi Ushida (University of Tokyo) Prof. Shigeo Wada (Osaka University) Prof. Noritaka Yamamoto (Ritsumeikan University) - 4 - Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB 2009) Local Organizing Committee Dr. Philipp Schneider (Secretary General) Prof. Ralph Müller (Chair) Dr. Jörg Goldhahn Dr. Sandra Hofmann Dr. Gisela Kuhn Dr. Davide Ruffoni Dr. Kathryn Stok Dr. Duncan Webster David Christen (Web Master) Contact Mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.sjb2009.ethz.ch Address: ETH Zurich Institute for Biomechanics Wolfgang-Pauli-Strasse 10 HCI E 355.1 CH-8093 Zurich HCI Building at ETH Hönggerberg (© Hannes Switzerland Röst, Creative Commons license by-sa) Format and Abstract Submission At the workshop, there will be eight oral sessions with thirty-three invited papers by leading investigators from Japan and Switzerland. All the invitees have already agreed to present their work in Engelberg. The list of speakers below is a testimony to what promises to be a very exciting workshop. Additionally, there is place for young investigators to submit abstracts for review by the scientific committee. Accepted abstracts will be presented in a special oral plenary session, and subsequently discussed in a poster session. Finally, the organizers would like to highlight several social events; including a half-day excursion to Mount Titlis, to which all participants and accompanying persons are kindly invited and which offer further occasions for social exchange. The workshop will be concluded by a traditional Swiss evening. - 5 - Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB 2009) Scientific Areas The focus of the workshop will be on biomechanical imaging and different application areas have been identified for the individual sessions: • Biofluid, cardiovascular and respiratory biomechanics • Bone biomechanics • Implants, biomaterials and tissue engineering • Molecular and cellular biomechanics • New areas in biomechanics • Soft tissue biomechanics • Spine and joint biomechanics • Whole body biomechanics Keynote Speaker Prof. Keita Ito (TU Eindhoven) “Application of bioimaging to biomechanics at the tissue, matrix and cell level” Invited Speakers Japan Prof. Adachi Taiji (Kyoto University) Prof. Araki Tsutomu (Osaka University) Prof. Gong Jian Ping (University of Hokkaido) Prof. Hara Toshiaki (Niigata University) Prof. Higaki Hidehiko (Kyushu Sangyo University) Prof. Ishikawa Takuji (Tohoku University) Prof. Matsumoto Takeo (Nagoya Institute of Technology) Prof. Naiki Takeru (Okayama University of Science) Prof. Ohashi Toshiro (Tohoku University) Prof. Sakamoto Jiro (Kanazawa University) Prof. Shimizu Juichiro (Nara Medical University) Prof. Tadano Shigeru (Hokkaido University) Prof. Tanaka Masao (Osaka University) Prof. Tanishita Kazuo (Keio University) Prof. Wada Shigeo (Osaka University) - 6 - Third Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB 2009) Prof. Yamada Hiroshi (Kyushu Institute of Technology) Prof. Yamamoto Kimiko (University of Tokyo) Prof. Yamamoto Noritaka (Ritsumeikan University) Invited Speakers Switzerland Prof. Daniels Dan A.
