| Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) is the non-contact SPM technology to image live cells based on glass capillaries with a nanometric aperture. It applies a voltage and measures the ionic current flowing through the pipette above the sample in the buffer solution: the recorded current represents the feedback signal to measure the topography of the sample. In collaboration with Prof. Fantner at EPFL, this project aims to assemble a state of the art high-speed SICM to enable time-resolved live cell imaging. - Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nanotechnology, Signal Processing

| What about implantable self-powering devices to monitor biophysical signals at nanoscale? As a part of the interdisciplinary frontier between material science and new biomedical applications, being able to monitor biological or physical markers and signals, allows for a better treatment from both the diagnostic and healing point of view. Among them, biocompatible and non-intrusive wearable monitoring devices, which are so flexible to adhere perfectly to biological tissue, and even to cells like neurons, gain increasing interest. However, fabricating the devices and the electrodes at nano/microscale remains a challenge.
FluidFM is a force-controlled nanopipette, a versatile tool also for 2D patterning and 3D printing in liquid environment, opening the opportunity to manufacture the devices at the sub-micron scale.
We are going to create the devices and electrodes depositing conductive polymers with the FluidFM and then to perform the opportune characterization. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences, Physics

| Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a unique group of autoimmune diseases. Researches have demonstrated that antibody-induced disruption of Dsg3 transadhesion initiates a signaling response in basal keratinocytes followed by loss of tissue integrity. The complexity of morphogenesis and tissue regeneration implies the existence of a transcellular communication network in which individual cells sense the environment and coordinate their biological activity in time and space.
To understand the fascinating ability of tissue self-organization, comprehensive study of biophysical properties (cell topography and bioelectricity) in combination with the analysis of biochemical networks (signaling pathways and genetic circuits) is required.
Together with the University of Bern and University of Lübeck, we aim to utilize the tools to study the topography and electrophysiology (cell potential, ion channel recording, localized ion detection, charges) of HPEK cells (human primary keratinocytes cells) to unravel the signaling pathways of the disease. We utilize optical imaging (fluorescence dyes) and biosensing tools (including the state of the art hs-SICM and electrical FluidFM setup) to study HPEK cells upon desmosome disruption.

| In the field of spinal surgery, particularly in tasks related to bone drilling and screw placement, precision and accuracy are key for ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes. The inherent complexities and risk nature of spinal procedures highlights the need for enhanced precision that can enhance the skills of surgeons and support them in the decision process during critical procedures. Robotic surgery has the potential to offer a reliable and precise system for orthopedic surgeries, capable of providing time feedback of the task in hand that can be used by the surgeons for the intraoperative decision-making process of the surgery. This master thesis aims to contribute to the advancement of robotic surgery by focusing on the development and integration of a robotic drill end-effector designed for spinal procedures.
The master thesis is a collaboration between the OR-X of the University Hospital Balgrist, and the BIROMED-Lab of the University of Basel. - Mechanical Engineering
