Assessing the compatibility of simultaneously administered drugs

External

Lohasz_BEL_Hierlemann_Chip

The increase of drug-drug interactions in patients treated with multiple medicines, requires the development of new methods to detect and avoid such complications. Researchers associated with the Bio Engineering Lab, led by Andreas Hierlemann, present an in vitro test system that includes different tissue types in a microfluidic environment. The system enables qualitative and quantitative assessment of metabolism-related drug-drug interactions of anti-cancer prodrugs and anti-retroviral compounds.

Missed the D-BSSE eSymposium? No worries!

External

D-BSSE_eSymposium

On 13 October, the first D-BSSE eSymposium took place dedicated to the question: "What do SARS-​​​CoV-​​2 genomes tell us about their evolution and spread?" Backed by the success and international reach of this virtual symposium, we are delighted to share with our growing community the recorded video of this conference. Stay wired, the next D-BSSE eSymposium will be announced soon!

Digital publishing: international Open Access Week

Internal

Open-Access-Week_ETH-Library

An increasing number of scientists at ETH Zurich are using open access to publish their research findings – meaning knowledge can be shared without restriction and used free of charge.

From Basel to Singapore – ETH’s sites around the world

External

BSSE_new_building_Basel

It might sound odd, but ETH Zurich is not just based in Zurich. The university has around 20 sites, including in northwestern Switzerland and in the canton of Graubünden, and even in Asia. They may not be the most obvious of locations, but there are good reasons behind them.

Cells on the run

External

Cell_Lomakin-et-al_Science2020

Many cells in the body must pass through tissue, which sometimes requires them to get out of tight corners. An international research team co-​led by D-BSSE has now examined how cells recognise and escape from such bottlenecks. Among the results of the team’s work are new pointers for how to improve immunotherapy.
