Biotechnology is a transdisciplinary field that integrates engineering with biology to develop products that improve human health, the environment, process engineering, and materials design. Integrating biotechnology with traditional mechanical and process engineering disciplines enables unique solutions to many unsolved problems. This approach supports our central aims of improving health, wellbeing, and sustainability.

IEPE contributes to a wide range of biotechnology:

• Biomaterials
• Microphysiological systems
• Advanced microscopy
• Drug delivery
• Organ perfusion and regeneration
• Wearable health technology
• Biomarker sensing
• Biofluiddynamics

Our research contributes to larger programs like Zurich Exhalomics, Zurich Heart and ETH Alive.
