As an engineer inspired by the possibilities of designing and building DNA, I was attracted to the D-BSSE Master’s programme, which includes comprehensive courses and great opportunities to conduct research. At the end of my studies, I was keen to become an entrepreneur for which I received invaluable support from D-BSSE, ieLab and the ETH Zurich Pioneer Fellowship.
