Engineering Translational Medicine (ETM)
The Engineering Translational Medicine (ETM) initiative brings together multidisciplinary basic researchers, biosystems engineers, and data scientists working together with clinicians on the understanding and engineering of complex biological systems to address pertinent existing and future problems in medicine.
Jointly with the University of Basel (Department of Biomedicine), the University Hospital Basel and the University Children’s Hospital Basel, we build a platform for researchers and clinicians to connect and collaborate.

Kickoff of Basel collaborative research hub: Engineering Translational Medicine
On 25 October, researchers from the D-BSSE, the University of Basel, the University Hospital and the University Children’s Hospital Basel met at the new ETH-building on Schällemätteli campus to mark the kickoff of a joint seminar series dedicated to translational projects and clinical applications. Spearheading the roll-out of the Engineering Translational Medicine research hub, this first event brought together experts from bench and bedside to spark innovative approaches and collaborations.
