TEDD Visit ETH ETH Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering D-BSSE
At D-BSSE, experimental and computational biologists and engineers work together on the understanding, rational design and programming of complex biological systems from the nanoscale up to whole organisms.
EVENT FOCUS
D-BSSE focusses on the understanding, rational design and programming of complex biological systems from the nanoscale up to whole organisms. As an engineering department of ETH Zurich, D-BSSE advances basic and applied biological sciences with the overall goal of translating its research into biomedical and industrial applications, and promoting the development of new processes and products in the biotech, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
To maximize the impact of this ambitious endeavour, the department was founded in 2007 in Basel, Europe's life science capital. In collaboration with partners from industry, hospitals and other academic institutions, the Basel location facilitates research applications in the emerging fields of precision medicine and personalized health, molecular systems engineering and data science.
In 2023, D-BSSE moved into a new research and laboratory building on campus Schallematteli in close vicinity to the University of Basel, the University Hospital, and the Children's Hospital Basel.
