The Bio-Engineering Group is located at Campus Biotech in Geneva, the new life sciences ecosystem on Lake Geneva.
We focus on the design and prototyping of innovative biological and human technologies to improve people's lives.
Our mission is to study and improve physiology through advanced engineering. We use non-invasive technologies to study human physiology and functionality, and to design, control and evaluate devices.
Our group also develops in vitro biological models and technical tools to assess the functional and/or toxicological effect of substances on the brain. It specializes in the field of organ-on-chip, which enables us to limit or replace the use of laboratory animals in research (3R concept).
The group collaborates closely with industrial and academic players through various types of project, such as InnoSuisse, European, HES-SO or services.
The group draws on the expertise of Prof. Martina Coscia (Human Engineering Laboratory) and Prof. Adrien Roux (Tissue Engineering Laboratory).
