The Biotechnology and Bioengineering group at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of ETH Zurich in Basel is seeking scientists eager to make a difference. If you thrive on innovation and want to be part of something new and exciting, we would love to hear from you! Our team is on the lookout for talented individuals to join us in launching a new venture focused on cutting-edge research in scalable recombinant Adeno-associated virus (rAAV) manufacturing and closed-loop gene therapies for inborn metabolic disorders.
The D-BSSE is a remarkable institution where diverse fields of study converge harmoniously. This unique department, the first of its kind at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, encourages progress in Systems Biology, Biotechnology, and Synthetic Biology. Here, researchers from theoretical and experimental biology, as well as engineering, collaborate to share their passion and expertise for a better world. Situated in beautiful Basel, Switzerland, D-BSSE lies in the heart of the Biovalley—an innovative tri-national region that hosts 40% of the global life science industry, making it a prime location for high-impact translational research.
Our group employs state-of-the-art Synthetic Biology principles to engineer human cells and develop advanced gene and cell therapies targeting various conditions, including cancer, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune issues, and infectious diseases.
