Basel Personalised Medicine Initiative

The Basel Personalised Medicine Initiative is funding joint projects in the broad area of personalised medicine between members of D-BSSE and the University of Basel, ideally also integrating expertise of other life science research institutions such as the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), the Basel University Hospital and the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI).

A total of 4 million Swiss francs over the years 2016-2020 is available through the generous support of the two Basel Cantons via the “Impulsinvestition für die Ausweitung der Kooperation zwischen dem Departement für Biosysteme der ETH Zürich (D-BSSE) und der Universität Basel“. The guiding vision is to combine expertise in the area of personalised medicine and optimise collaboration in the network of biomedical disciplines (ranging from bench to bedside) in order to enhance the existing potential in the interest of the Basel region as a research location and knowledge hub.
