Current work Organising the activity and development of the School of Life Sciences research core facilities. 2025 - now / Head of Research Core Facilities / School of Life Sciences, EPFL2020 - 2024 / Coordinator of Research Core Facilities / School of Life Sciences, EPFL2014 - 2020 / Senior Researcher / Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden2004 - 2014 / Researcher / University of Lausanne, Switzerland2000 - 2004 / Postdoc / Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, CA, USA Teaching & PhD Courses Methods: from disease models to therapy BIOENG-518 This course will describe methods underlying translational approaches from disease modeling and characterization to therapeutic applications. The presented techniques will be complemented by hands-on rotations in the technological platforms of the School of Life Sciences. Methods: omics in biomedical research BIOENG-519 High-throughput methodologies broadly called Omics allow to characterize the complexity and dynamics of any biological system. This course will provide a general description of different methods related to the Omics field followed by hands-on rotations in participating technological platforms.
