The Biotechnology and Bioengineering group at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of ETH Zurich in Basel is actively seeking dedicated scientists eager to make a significant impact. If you thrive on innovation and wish to be part of an exciting new venture, we would love to hear from you! We are in need of talented individuals to join us in launching pioneering research in scalable recombinant Adeno-associated virus (rAAV) manufacturing and closed-loop gene therapies for inborn metabolic disorders.
The D-BSSE is a unique institution where diverse fields converge in perfect harmony. As the first of its kind at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, our mission is to foster advancement in Systems Biology, Biotechnology, and Synthetic Biology. Here, passionate groups working in theoretical biology, experimental biology, and engineering collaborate to make a meaningful contribution to society. The D-BSSE is situated in the vibrant city of Basel, Switzerland, nestled in Biovalley—a tri-national region that encompasses 40% of the global life science industry, including several pharmaceutical giants, thus providing an exceptional environment for transformative translational research.
Our group employs cutting-edge Synthetic Biology principles to engineer human cells and develop innovative gene and cell therapies aimed at addressing cancer as well as metabolic, neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and infectious diseases.
