TEDD Visit: Campus Biotech

The Campus Biotech is composed of world-class research teams working in a collaborative environment including the Wyss Center, UNIGE, EPFL, HEPIA as well as several companies (GliaPharm, Addex). They all shared one overarching vision to be a center of excellence in biotechnology and life sciences research focusing on three domains: Neuroscience & Neurotechnology, Digital Health and Global Health. Tissue Engineering is one of the crucial tools to work at the forefront of life sciences and the Campus Biotech shares state-of-the-art cell culture equipment to showcase during the lab tours.
