Deep Dive ML on Simulated Enzyme-Electrolysis Performance
The goal of this pilot study is to research requirements needed to develop a computational model that simulates the fluidic and electro-biochemical dynamics in the power-to-liquid process in order to optimise the performance, efficiency and longevity of enzymes.
-
Innovative Immunotherapy Approach
The goal of this project is the synthesis of peptide loaded nanoparticles.
-
Novel phage derived antimicrobials
Novel, patentable bacteriophage-based precision antimicrobials are generated. To minimize the risk of failure at the pre-clinical stage, in vivo activity screening in zebrafish embryos is combined with process development, continuous evolution, and phage engineering during early stages of discovery. ...

Comparison of roasting
Comparison of roasting with different head/energy sources. This will be conducted first (2023) on three shop roasters and later (2024) on two industrial roasters.
-
Synthesis of peptidic active ingredients
In this project a compound library of peptidic drugs will be synthesized.

Therapy for the NRAS melanoma subtype
Melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in Switzerland and the most lethal skin cancer. NRAS (neuroblastoma ras viral oncogene homolog)-mutated melanoma is the most aggressive subtype, with no effective therapy after immunotherapy failure. The goal of this project is to develop the first effective targeted therapy ...

Development of analytical methods specific to aquaculture
The aim of this project is to establish and further develop analytical methods specific to aquaculture so that they can be used in future projects. The methods to be established are: Trace analysis for off-flavour detection: an existing method for measuring geosmin and 2-MIB in water samples (using HS-SPME-GC/MS) ...

Platform for drug target identification
A major problem in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery projects is the unknown identity of the molecular biological target, even when very potent ligands are available, such as those discovered in a phenotypic screen. Therefore, methods for hit optimization, such as structure-based design, or better understanding ...
