Interview: German national soccer team physician Jochen Hahne and FC Bayern physician Peter Ueblacker

“When you're on the field, you shut everything else out”

Dr. Jochen Hahne and Prof. Peter Ueblacker met at TUM University Hospital 20 years ago, when Hahne was a medical student and Ueblacker was a doctor in training. Today, the two alumni serve as team physicians for FC Bayern Munich. Jochen Hahne is also a physician for the German national soccer team. Before departing for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the two spoke in an interview about their work as team physicians, their studies and their hopes for the tournament.

Erasmus+ milestone

Studying without borders

Over a million students from German universities have gained international experience through Erasmus+ since the program’s launch in 1987. One of them is TUM student Polina Voitenko, who spent a semester at LUISS University in Rome last year. It was an experience that had a lasting impact on her both personally and academically.

Research funding for the electrified construction site

Construction work without diesel emissions and vehicle noise

Construction sites are still characterized by noisy, polluting diesel engines. While battery-electric machines and vehicles are becoming increasingly available on the market, the major breakthrough toward locally emission-free and energy-efficient construction sites has so far been hindered primarily by the interaction of equipment and operational processes. The new research consortium ForBat@Bau, which has now commenced its work, aims to solve this challenging problem.

Biochemical Quantum Sensor Instead of Semiconductor

Proteins can be selectively controlled with radio waves

A significant advance in biological quantum sensing: A research team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered and tested a new mechanism of action in which proteins can be controlled with radio waves. In doing so, they influence a sensitive quantum state known as spin and make it visible via light. In the future, such findings could help detect and even direct biochemical processes in cells simply from the outside using radio waves.

Applications in Digital Medicine

6G networks will improve network utilization

Telemedicine, continuous monitoring, and remote procedures are becoming increasingly important in medicine. For these to operate seamlessly in everyday clinical practice, data must be transmitted quickly, reliably, and without interruption. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TUM University Hospital have investigated how future 6G networks can manage computing power and data transmission in such a way that up to 40 percent more applications can be run simultaneously.

New economic strength for the future

TUM among the top in European start-up ranking

In Europe, nearly half a million additional start-ups could emerge in ten years if all universities were to harness their potential as effectively as the leaders in the field of entrepreneurship. This is shown by the new Redstone University Startup Index. TUM ranks 4th among very large universities for start-ups founded by researchers. In terms of the ratio of start-ups to university budget, it ranks 5th.

New program for members of supervisory and executive boards

TUM launches Board Academy

What is the current state of development of key technologies, and how do they impact the economy? TUM is launching a new qualification program for members of supervisory boards and executive boards. At the Board Academy of the TUM Institute for Lifelong Learning, participants learn about the latest research in tech labs and analyze its implications for the business world together with leading scientists. The program formats also provide ample opportunity for open discussion.

M1 Munich Medicine Alliance launches “Innovations for Patients” program

Seven projects to advance medicine

The M1 Munich Medicine Alliance is awarding funding for cutting-edge translational research from Munich for the first time. Through the “Innovations for Patients” program, seven research projects will receive a total of 7.45 million euros. Five of the cross-institutional projects are coordinated by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). M1 is an alliance of TUM, TUM University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and its hospital, and Helmholtz Munich.

The cowpea as a new source of protein

Feeding a growing global population with healthy, safe, and affordable food is one of the key challenges of the future. Plant-based proteins can play an important role in addressing this challenge, as they offer alternatives to animal protein. Cowpea is a protein-rich legume with great potential. Doctoral candidate Victor Christian Kaharso from Indonesia is investigating how cowpea can be used as a valuable food ingredient.

Sensors are making operating rooms smarter

How robots are becoming surgical assistants

How can robots and humans work together as effectively as possible in the operating room of the future? Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TUM University Hospital investigated this question as part of the ForNeRo research project. Using a sensor-equipped system, they analyzed surgeons' movements during procedures and collected data from simulated robot-assisted operations.
