Treating anaemia with gene scissors
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH Zurich molecular biologist Mandy Boontanrart is researching gene therapies that could be used to cure two of the most common types of inherited anaemia. She has now developed a promising approach for so-called beta-hemoglobinopathies.
New real-time guidable-tip wire for surgically treating strokes
TechTransfer
EPFL
EPFL spin-off Artiria has developed a wire with a guidable tip that makes it easier for neurosurgeons to navigate the dense network of cerebral arteries and get to the source of strokes. Its system has just received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
EPFL spin-off closes the loop on PET recycling
TechTransfer
EPFL
EPFL spin-off DePoly has developed a method for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at ambient temperature, even when it’s dirty or mixed with other plastics. The firm confirmed the feasibility of its method with a pilot capable of processing 50 metric tons per year. Having recently raised CHF 12.3 million, DePoly is now building a pilot plant with 10 times that capacity.
Safe intubation thanks to artificial intelligence and robotics
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
The ETH spin-off aiEndoscopic has developed a device that should make intubation easier and safer in the future. It combines artificial intelligence and robotics.
The great clean-up

ETH Zurich
From tackling micropollutants in wastewater to removing plastic waste from rivers, here are five solutions based on ETH expertise.
Diving robot for dangerous operations
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
Divers are often put at considerable risk when searching for people or objects underwater. The ETH spin-off Tethys has developed an underwater robot that can be used in situations that are too dangerous for human divers.
