Computation Model Paves the Way for More Efficient Energy Systems
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers make theoretical breakthrough in thermoelectric material to better harness waste heat for sustainable energy.
A Lab-on-a-Chip for T cell screening and sorting
Research
EPFL
Using high precision microfabrication and microfluidics, Clémentine Lipp has developed a tool with the potential to automate T cell screening and sorting—an essential task in immunology. 
Capturing carbon where it is produced
Research
EPFL
EPFL engineers propose a system-wide integration solution for carbon capturing and mineralisation in the cement production, steel manufacturing, and waste incineration sectors. 
Learning how to control HIV from African genomes
Research
EPFL
A study on almost 4000 people of African descent has identified a gene that acts as natural defense against HIV by limiting its replication in certain white blood cells. An international effort co-led by EPFL, Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory, and Imperial College London, it paves the way for new treatment strategies.
Organoids revolutionize research on respiratory infections
Research
EPFL
In a breakthrough for bioengineering, researchers at EPFL have developed organoids that can model the human respiratory tract. The organoids, called AirGels, allow them to uncover the mechanism by which antibiotic-resistant pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa infect the respiratory tract.
Exploring a new approach to treating collapsed airways in newborns
Research
EPFL
In collaboration with CHUV, EPFL engineers propose wrapping an adhesive hydrogel patch around a collapsed trachea for treatment of Tracheomalacia.
