Kickoff of the seminar series of the Next-Gen Bioengineers programmes
On 29 January, the two joint programmes of ETH Zurich and Roche kicked off the seminar series «Next-Gen Lunch and Learn» providing opportunities for scientific exchange and networking for scientists and fellows from Institute of Human Biology, pRED and D-BSSE. On a guided tour to the D-BSSE Single Cell and Lab Automation facilities led by Thomas Horn the young scientists learned about the many resources available for their research.
Launch of the joint doctoral programme
On 5 July the ETH Zurich Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering and Roche’s Institute of Human Biology launch the joint Basel-based doctoral programme for Translational Engineering of Biological Systems! The programme's goal is to train the world’s best young researchers to tackle difficult translational challenges and develop the next generation of human model systems. Check the eligibility criteria, take a look at the different research projects and submit your application!
