Ingenuity Lab

 Scientific Competence Centers & Academic Networks and Initiatives

At the Ingenuity Lab, we design and develop conceptionally novel solutions for precision medicine based on an interdisciplinary design- thinking approach. The lab leverages materials engineering, cutting- edge analytics and simulations to obtain a holistic understanding of the interplay of engineered materials with the living across scales, enabling data- driven materials and device designs, which offer a direct route to unparalleled diagnostic and therapeutic performance.

We are committed to conducting research that is not only intellectually stimulating but also has real-world implications. We believe that the best way to achieve this is by bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise. Our team is based at the Balgrist University Hospital, the University of Zurich (Chemistry), the ETH and Empa and is composed of individuals from different backgrounds and disciplines, who work together to tackle complex problems and find innovative solutions. We are passionate about what we do and are always looking for new challenges to take on.
