Congratulations to prof. Leroux for winning this award for the 6th time! Jean-Christophe Leroux ranks in the top 1% by citations in Pharmacology and Toxicology according to Web of Science.

Congratulations to our doctoral student Silvana! She successfully developed a model vaccine that induced T-cells response in vitro and in vivo models. Activating patient's own immune system can be exploited in therapeutic cancer vaccination and other diseases.

We are very proud to announce another award for prof. Leroux! This time is about fostering entrepreneurship at the entire department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences (D-CHAB). The first award to recognize ETH professors for their outstanding efforts to promote entrepreneurship among students and researchers.    

Human microbiome is famously known for its benefits to our health, however few bacteria survive the manufacturing process. Fatma is working on a novel approach to improve bacterial survival by encapsulating aqueous suspensions of live bacteria inside a functional composite capsule.

Our postdoctoral fellow, Dr Nicole Zoratto, will work on the development of the versatile microsampling device to collect the blood with minimal invasiveness for point-of-care tests. This project is part of  Postdoctoral Excellence Programme (PEP), an  initiative of Botnar Research Centre for Child Health (BRCCH).  

The Grand Prix de l`Académie nationale de Pharmacie is awarded to pharmacists under 60 who set an example through the quality of their work and achievements in their professional lives.

Professor Leroux received an Innovation Award in R&D presented by the Faculty of Pharmacy, at University of Montreal. He was one of the six laureates who distinguished for the quality of the innovations achieved during their professional practice.
