Detection and Diagnostics
We apply and further develop instrumental and bioanalytical methods and technologies for the detection of individual substances. These are used in the environmental and food sectors and online, as well as for process monitoring in the life sciences. By developing new methods in laboratory diagnostics we help to ensure safe and efficient healthcare.
Sections and Competence Center
Section Sensor Technology
Please visit our german website to get more information about the section for Sensor Technology.
Section Biochemistry
Cancer cells commonly display a high level of genome instability, which frequently goes along with alterations in the DNA damage response, such as the downregulation of certain DNA repair factors and the dependence on other, alternative, DNA repair pathways. Such a dependence renders cancer cells susceptible to the treatment with inhibitors of specific DNA repair factors. Our aim is to identify suitable therapeutic targets and to develop novel inhibitors of DNA repair proteins.
Section for Analytical Technologies
The section for Analytical Technologies is the leading academic institution at a University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland for both teaching and research in the fields of Analytical Chemistry.
Coffee Excellence Center
The Coffee Excellence Center is a leading academic institution dedicated to the science and technology of coffee. Founded in 2008 by Prof. Dr. Chahan Yeretzian, our center’s mission is to explore and expand the frontiers in the science and technology of coffee along all disciplines.
Section for Environmental Analytics
The group of environmental Analytics addresses the identification and quantification of organic substances and chemical elements in various environmental samples and materials in trace amounts.
Section for Physical Chemistry
Please visit our german website to get more information about the section for Physical Chemistry.
Section Bioanalytics
In the team of the Bioanalytics Research Group we accomplish projects in research and development in collaboration with industry and university partners. Furthermore, we pursue research in the field of structure-activity relationship of phage proteins. Thereby we use our expertise in the areas of protein engineering, recombinant protein technology, downstream processing, early development of biologics and bioanalytics and the infrastructure of our well-equipped laboratories.
