Students want to invite the ocean on EPFL campus
Teaching
EPFL
To build awareness about the importance of oceans, Sailowtech, a student association, has launched a project to develop low-tech methods for collecting data at sea. The methods will be tested during a sailing expedition around the North Atlantic Ocean. Various EPFL labs are also involved.
A new tool for protein sequence generation and design
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have developed a new technique that uses a protein language model for generating protein sequences with comparable properties to natural sequences. The method outperforms traditional models and offers promising potential for protein design.
Scientists monitor wildlife to boost preservation efforts
Research
EPFL
To mark the tenth annual UN World Wildlife Day, we compiled a sample of EPFL research projects that are using technology to protect and preserve wildlife.
Scientists improve the accuracy of weather and climate models
Research
EPFL WSL
Scientists from EPFL and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF have developed a program that improves the accuracy of a widely used weather forecasting model by incorporating surface phenomena that weren’t previously taken into account.
3D printing with bacteria-loaded ink produces bone-like composites
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have published a method for 3D-printing an ink that contains calcium carbonate-producing bacteria. The 3D-printed mineralized bio-composite is unprecedently strong, light, and environmentally friendly, with a range of applications from art to biomedicine.
When researchers join forces in the fight against cancer
Research
EPFL
Since 2016, the Swiss Cancer Center Léman provides a space for scientists and clinicians from across the Lake Geneva region to pool their efforts, share insights and work together on innovative cancer treatments. The center, which has just renewed its leadership team, brings together the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne, the EPFL, and the two hospitals, CHUV and HUG.
