We had a fantastic time at this year's D-BSSE Christmas Dinner! 🎄✨ Great food, conversations, and a festive atmosphere, all with the stunning St. Jakob Stadium in the background. Huge thanks to the department for organizing and to everyone who made it special!

On Dec 6, 2024, we hosted the MaP Doctoral School Small Track at the new D-BSSE building! Highlights included lab tours of cutting-edge research by Prof. Dittrich & Prof. Hierlemann, and a guided tour of historic Basel. Great connections and exchange within the ETH Community!

The annual #MicroTAS2024 conference has officially begun! We're excited to have our team on-site in Montreal, presenting their latest research. Make sure not to miss their talk and poster tomorrow!

We have returned from a fascinating group visit to CERN in Geneva! We got to witness the world’s largest particle physics lab up close and learn about cutting-edge research on dark matter and antimatter⚛️. Thank you to the CERN team for their hospitality and inspiration!

Last week we were happy to join BIOS/Lab on Chip group from University of Twente on their group retreat in Interlaken. Prof. Petra Dittrich, Dr. Bijing Xiong and Sara Svanberg were giving guest talks. Thank you for the inspiring day with a warm welcome and great organization!

ETH Zurich’s new BSS teaching and research building on the Schällemätteli life science campus in Basel has officially opened its doors. In the Bioanalytics group, we organized a lab tour for the curious guests to showcase our work on "labs in credit card size".

We are happy to introduce Dr. Ayushi Agrawal, our newest addition to the Bioanalytics group. She recently received her PhD from University College London. Dr. Agrawal brings experience in 3D cell culture, microfabrication, and microscopy to our group. Welcome, Ayushi!👩‍🔬

👨‍🔬Meet our new PhD student👨‍🔬 Sebastian Bargfrede completed his Master in Biochemistry at the University of Cologne in 2023. In his thesis, he analysed the 3D structure and function of a putative Pro-​Pro-endopeptidase from C. difficile🦠 Welcome to the group, Sebastian!

Welcome to our new master students, Leonard, Jia and Hilmar! We are wishing you a great stay in our group with lots of fun and great science during your thesis projects🧪🥼🦠

👩‍🔬Meet our new PhD student👩‍🔬 Lena Blaase completed her Master in Analytical Chemistry at Uppsala University in 2023. She did her thesis on normalization strategies that are based on ionization efficiencies using direct infusion probe mass spectrometry. Welcome to the group, Lena!
