Access to large complex biomedical data today allows scientists to take full advantage of AI-driven approaches in a variety of applications with high societal impact. One such application is precision medicine, which is gradually becoming reality for some cancers. Unfortunately, for colorectal cancer (CRC) ...

So far, vaccines are available to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, which can protect against a severe course, although part of society also does not want to be vaccinated or cannot do so due to pre-existing conditions. With a drug that can fight the virus in the organism, infected patients with severe symptoms would be ...

With the Natural Malagasy Plants Dyes the international project team with researchers from the University of Antananarivo and from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences supported by Flexknit as project partner intends to develop a sustainable dyeing processes which is based on the sustainable use of Madagascar’s ...

Food waste is a topic of concern worldwide as substantial amount of food ends up as waste along the food value chain. This represents not only a resource problem but also an environmental and economic one, on top of being a moral challenge for the modern society. The production of food waste covers all the food life ...

The goal of this project is to use interpretable Machine Learning (ML) to find low-dimensional features in high-dimensional noisy data generated by (i) stochastic models or (ii) real systems. In both cases, the problem is to disentangle the effect of high-dimensional disturbances, such as noise or unobserved inputs, ...

Development of a Proof of Concept for visual Open Set Recognition (OSR) algorithms applied to a Hematology task, the classification of white blood cells.

With this preliminary project we would like to implement the existing Veg-Module into an Eco-Module which shall contain enhanced ecological data such as animal species distribution, habitat and vegetation types. In this way, we would test the potentiality to develop an ‘Ecological’ Common Data Environment as Design ...

The production of mushrooms on substrate blocks in climate-controlled growrooms is a proven method for decades. Growing mushrooms on logs or straw bales outdoors is really trendy in private horticulture. So far, little attention and little research has been done on a promising hybrid form: production on substrate ...

The goal of the project is to develop an interdisciplinary approach (packaging technology and materials, packaging design, environmental psychology and sustainability) to develop sustainable packaging concepts for existing or new products. Thereby different know-how and experiences in material development, food ...

ZHAW, UZH and Avelo aim to research, develop, and clinically assess a novel breath aerosol sampling device for the non-invasive diagnosis of Tuberculosis.

In order to achieve the overarching goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, a paradigm shift toward a cir-cular economy for carbon has to be put in place. The systemic objective of the Flagship project is to provide the society with a viable case study of the CO2 circular economy applied to the chemical industry. The ...

Infectious disease caused by bacteria constitutes a major threat to human health. Although antibiotics control bacterial infections, their efficacy is mitigated by the rise of antibiotic resistance. Further challenging elimination of pathogenic bacteria, some species such as Staphylococcus aureus, responsible for a ...

Using innovative biomaterials technology to develop cultivated meat, providing a sustainable and healthy alternative to traditional meat through a circular bioeconomy.

Paper based SERS biochip for point of care diagnostics.

Brain cancers are a leading cause of mortality in children. Brainstem glioma constitutes 10% of all pediatric central nervous system tumors, the most common type being a high grade diffuse midline glioma (DMG). Preclinical discoveries fail to translate into clinical success due to: i) drug systemic toxicity, and ii) ...

The aim is to introduce a patentable technology that allows Dropz to dissolve quickly and naturally, with minimum additives (clean label), and that creats differentation towards competitors.
