| In this project, we will use advanced manufacturing to produce drug delivery systems that can be use several clinical challenges such as micronutrients anaemia and type 2 diabetes.
Polymer formulation combined with advanced post-processing approaches will be used to scale up the production of drug delivery systems having specific release profile.
In vitro studies will be performed to characterize the efficiency of the produced drug delivery systems. - Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Clinical Sciences, Macromolecular Chemistry, Materials Engineering, Medical Biochemistry and Clinical Chemistry, Medical Microbiology, Organic Chemistry, Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences

| Stroke is a leading disease in the elderly, resulting in a considerable burden on patients and healthcare systems. Rehabilitation aims to reduce consequential damage and restore patients' quality of life, but its effectiveness varies from person to person. Rehabilitation can be understood as a learning process where patients have to relearn and train physiological movement patterns, for example. Sleep plays a role that has long been underestimated in this context: while we sleep, memory content is reorganized and restructured in the brain for long-term storage. Studies have shown that phase-targeted auditory stimulation (PTAS) can improve memory consolidation during sleep. Thanks to mobile applications, this method can now also be used in a clinical setting. We want to use this as part of the “StimuLOOP” study to support stroke patients in their rehabilitation.

| Schlaganfall ist ein leitendes Krankheitsbild im Alter, welches eine erhebliche Belastung von Patienten und Gesundheitssystemen zur Folge hat. Die Rehabilitation zielt darauf ab, Folgeschäden zu reduzieren und Patienten wieder mehr Lebensqualität zu ermöglichen, zeigt jedoch individuelle Unterschiede in der Wirksamkeit. Die Rehabilitation kann man als einen Lernprozess verstehen, wobei Patienten beispielsweise physiologische Bewegungsmuster wieder neu lernen und trainieren müssen. Schlaf spielt dabei eine, in diesem Kontext, lange unterschätzte Rolle: während wir schlafen, werden Gedächtnisinhalte im Gehirn reorganisiert und neu strukturiert, um sie langfristig zu speichern. Studien haben gezeigt, dass die phasen-spezifische Stimulation der Tiefschlafwellen (“Phase-Targeted Auditory Stimulation”, PTAS) die Gedächtniskonsolidierung im Schlaf verbessern kann. Dank mobiler Anwendungen kann diese Methode mittlerweile auch im klinischen Setting eingesetzt werden. Dies wollen wir im Rahmen der «StimuLOOP» Studie nutzen, um Schlaganfallpatienten und -patientinnen bei ihrer Rehabilitation zu unterstützen.

| The remarkable 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 (cellular nanomechanics such as tension forces and bioelectromagnetics) in combination with the analysis of biochemical networks (signaling pathways and genetic circuits) is required.
In this framework we are investigating the unacknowledged key role of Desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) as a receptor involved in mechanosensing, capable of initiating a signaling response in the transcellular communication network, which results in stem cell fate conversion, plasticity and tissue repair.
Our goal is to apply innovative Fluidic Force Microscopy to measure altered biophysical parameters upon disruption of Dsg3 transadhesion such as cell stiffness, cell-cell adhesion, cell surface charges and electric potentials. Together with the University of Bern and University of Lübeck we are further investigating how these biophysical changes relate to transcriptomic, epigenomic and proteomic response circuits to ultimately infer biophysical and biochemical circuits involved in Dsg3 signaling.

| Recent research at our group has found that the learning rate of a technology is related to its product (design) and process (manufacturing) complexity.
However, literature on measuring product and process complexity is still underdeveloped and needs refinement. The aim of this thesis will be to implement a variety of measurements of product and process complexity, compare them and draw insights for policymakers. The measurements will be based on natural language processing (NLP) and information theory, and will utilize patents and scientific publications as datasets. The newly developed measurements will be compared to more widely used methods based on ease of recombination of related patent classification codes, and the number of exporting countries. - Research, Science and Technology Policy, Software Engineering
