Proteins à la carte expand beyond Nature's repertoire

School of Engineering’s scientists have developed a new computational method to design artificial proteins with functions that are not found in nature.

New synthetic molecule can kill the flu virus

EPFL scientists have developed a synthetic molecule capable of killing the virus that causes influenza. They hope their discovery will lead to an effective drug treatment.

The first endovascular technology that can explore capillaries

EPFL scientists have invented a technique to navigate electronic devices that are smaller than human hair inside blood vessels and reach arterioles. The next step will be conducting in vivo tests.

Digipredict digital twin will predict the evolution of Covid-19

Under a cross-disciplinary program spearheaded by EPFL, scientists will develop an AI-based system that can predict whether Covid-19 patients will develop severe cardiovascular complications and, in the longer term, detect the likely onset of inflammatory disease.
