Biomedical engineer and Cyber Valley research group leader Dr. Tian Qiu from the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Stuttgart will receive one of the prestigious Starting Grants of the European Research Council (ERC) from January 2023. The funded project is called "VIBEBOT", which is developing microrobots that can move through biological tissue and thus enable minimally invasive medical interventions. The project will also strengthen the University of Stuttgart's profile area Biomedical Systems.
