Parkinson's disease: wearable sensors to track symptoms
TechTransfer
EPFL
EPFL scientists have developed algorithms that, combined with wearable sensors, could help clinicians to monitor the progression of Parkinson’s disease and assess the effects of medications commonly used by people with this neurodegenerative disorder.
Are Chinese politics a threat to the patent system?
Politics
EPFL
EPFL researchers show that foreign companies are less likely to have their patent applications granted in China than their Chinese counterparts. This discrimination occurs in technologies of strategic importance to the Chinese government: the telecommunication and biotech industries.
Urolithin A shows effective against muscular dystrophy
Research
EPFL
A new study published in Science Translational Medicine by EPFL professor Johan Auwerx and scientists from EPFL start-up Amazentis highlights the effectiveness of mitophagy-stimulating molecule Urolithin A in mice to cure a disease similar to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. And points to a possible treatment for affected people.
Artificial intelligence to explore the biomolecular world
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have developed AI-powered nanosensors that let researchers track various kinds of biological molecules without disturbing them. 
Topological data analysis can help predict stock-market crashes
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists, together with local startup L2F, have developed a robust model that can predict when a systemic shift is about to occur, based on methods from a branch of mathematics called topological data analysis.
Scientists unlock the secrets of glacier-fed streams
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have been busy over the past two years collecting and analyzing samples from streams fed by the world’s biggest glaciers. We spoke with some of the researchers on the project about their globe-trotting adventure. Find out more about it on our brand new longreads website.
