Synthetic droplets facilitate the detection of diseases in the blood

Arosio_research_Spark Award 2021

The detection of certain biomarkers in blood samples helps indicate the status of diseases in patients. These biomarkers generally come in small numbers and are mixed with many other components in the blood. Paolo Arosio and his research team (ICB) have found a way to remove and enrich relevant biomarkers to facilitate detection. To the video

Better together: mapping D-CHAB’s collaborations

Interactive collaboration map D-CHAB

Science is a team effort, also at the D-CHAB at ETH Zurich. Since 2009, there have been anually more than 1800 collaborations with partners from around 48 countries, as illustrated by the new interactive map on the D-CHAB website. But what do collaborations mean for research and research success? A look at what holds the research world together.

Rapid PCR tests at the touch of a button

Phillipe Bechtold, Michele Gregorini

ETH researchers Michele Gregorini and Philippe Bechtold (ICB) have developed a PCR testing device that can easily be used outside the lab – and that takes less than 30 minutes to deliver results. Now the two young entrepreneurs are focusing their efforts on getting the device approved for medical use.
