Fall 2020 Projects

LAUSANNE

Cellcognize

Development of a novel rapid way to analyze human gut microbiota composition and physiology using machine learning classifiers (CellCognize) in collaboration with CHUV.

ExoSort

Exosomes, vesicles extruded by cells, contain the genetic information  of  the  parental  cell  and  can  be  used  for  cancer  diagnostics. However, due to their sub-micron size, current methods lack the ability to sort different exosomes. Our chip can.

Intelligent chip-like personalized vaccine

A novel clip system, which can easy incorporate with antigen and adjuvant to prepare personalized vaccine

Macrolix

A synthetic platform allows a fast generation of 10'000 to 100'000 of macrocycles potentially suitable for difficult-to-drug therapeutic targets. We aim to provide new molecular starting points for medicinal chemistry projects.

Mini Marrow

The injectable Mini Marrow provides a long-lasting blood cell production units for patients requiring platelet transfusions, sparing them from weekly hospitalization and reducing burdens on blood banks, while reducing associated healthcare costs.

Optical devices to accelerate drug development

A laser technology device to accelerate the development of drugs. The device detects the solubility, the aggregation or crystallization of pharmaceutical compounds and proteins with high sensitivity, fast rate, and lower cost.

Optical Microcombe

An innovative photonic-based technology enabling compact laser sources for ultrafast and energy-efficient optical data transmission for the next-generation data centers.

Phenyla

An affordable nutritional supplement produced via bioinformatics tools and chemical engineering that improves the quality of life of  people living with Phenylketonuria by facilitating their dietary management.

360 climbing

Scamban

Bringing climbing guidebooks into the 21st century by using 3D digital representations of climbing areas, allowing for accurate, up-to-date and geo-referenced guidebooks

Femme

An at-home, digitally enabled, diagnostic, analysis, and solution company, committed to creating a positive change in Women's lives through affordable and personalized Health & Beauty solutions, for women by women, across all generations.

“Uberize” flat visits when renting abroad to avoid scams and makes sure you get what you are promised. Hire someone to do the flat visit and get photos and videos of the actual state of the flat so you don't have to rely on old/photoshopped pictures.

Reinvent your drone

Ensuring autonomous navigation of drones in an event of GPS outage - be it intentional (spoofing/jamming) or circumstantial (valleys/tall building/dense forests)

Nano Decoder

Reading the digital information that is stored in the synthetic sequence-encoded heteropolymers.

Simply Souperlicious

Simply Souperlicious makes and delivers fresh, homemade vegan/vegetarian, personalized soups out of veggies that consumers convince themselves they dislike.

Smart Helmet Design

ExoSort

Exosomes, vesicles extruded by cells, contain the genetic information  of  the  parental  cell  and  can  be  used  for  cancer  diagnostics. However, due to their sub-micron size, current methods lack the ability to sort different exosomes. Our chip can.

A smart helmet to monitor head-impacts in contact sports and provide feedback on the severity of these impacts through a secured web-interface. The system offers a new tool to track and prevent traumatic brain injuries.

SoundMap

A smart belt for blind people that gives them a sense of their environment. Just like we locate birds just by listening to them, we produce directional sounds, and users can listen to their environment, find objects, and avoid obstacles.

Geneva

Alpeak

A booking platform for certified mountain guides

Artemis 

A biodegradable local drug delivery system to prevent vein stenosis after an arteriovenous fistula or a bypass surgery. The system aims to decrease re-hospitalization, save health insurance cost and improve patient survival.

Mitolip

A new treatment for diabetes focused and a molecular method to decrease the efficiency of energy production in muscles  mimicking the effects of exercise  which can protect against high-fat diets. 

Nutrition

An eco-friendly kitchen with delivery service that customizes upon demand up to 4 meals a day to help you  eat healthier,  change body image by losing or gaining weight and eat an adapted diet for those that suffer from critical diseases

Shift to the Sun

A home management system that can absorb CO2 and automate devices to optimise their consumption of renewable energy

Synthesis Solid Electrolyte

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) promise higher power and energy density compared to batteries based on liquid electrolytes. These electrolytes can be obtained directly using a cheap, scalable and solution-based synthesis.

Trevor

 An individualized mobile health coaching app to support the self-care management of people with Sickle-Cell Disease and other neglected chronic blood disorders.

Yverdon

CycleCare

A new type of bicycle light which  offers optimal visibility and is easy to use allowing front, rear and floor lighting.

LGC

ParkNow

An easy integration of all coupon and bonus super cards into credit cards. That way the accumulation of points and the use of such points during purchases can be done automatically.

Smart Window

Programmable platform for single-step detection of specific disease biomarkers.

Automated window ventilation system. 

Tukit

A user-oriented platform to connect consumers with “home chefs”.

Video Game for Eating Habit

A gamified intervention software based on inhibitory control training to devalue unhealthy palatable food, in turn reducing their consumption.
