Innovation Areas Park Network West EPFL

The collection and exploitation of valuable data from cellphones, tablets, smart objects, social networks, web services etc., used effectively to optimise and automate solutions and solve business problems.

Network outages, data compromised by hackers, computer viruses… Cyber security focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction.

Research and developments in the fields of big data, social media semantic analysis, machine learning and predictive analytics. Valorising the quality of the research work and creating a clear added value for entreprise partners.

The science of bioinformatics is about applying information technology to biological problems. It provides databases, algorithmic and software tools that help in searching, analyzing, modeling and understanding of biological data.

Renowned expertise in vaccine development including therapeutic and preventive vaccines against pathogens, chronic diseases and allergies. Innovative approaches focused on vaccine formulation and virus-based vaccines and immuno-engineering.

Nutritional science investigates the metabolic and physiological responses of the body to food and diet, including the role of nutrients in the cause, treatment, and prevention of disease.

Through psychology, philosophy and neurosciences, the multidisciplinary study of emotions and their effects on human behaviour and society helps better understand the involvement of emotions in the areas such as health, human resources, resource management, decision making and art.

Research and action on transnational issues, determinants and solutions on all factors that comprise health for the protection against global threats and the achievement of health equity for all people worldwide.

The unique position of Geneva enables the researchers to develop strong links with global actors in global health. Through reflection, research and cutting edge teaching, students, professionals and decision-makers can cope better with the contemporary challenges of global health.

Aiming at engineering the nervous system to improve sensation, cognition, and mobility. Neurosciences strives to create solutions for new markets using bioengineering and neuro-prosthetics to improve human lives. Leading cutting edge research in different neuroscience areas is only possible by studying, in particular, the standard or pathological behaviours of the brain, both in human beings (adults or children) and animals.

Conditions hard to survive for most known life forms. Extremely high or low temperature or pressure; high or low content of oxygen or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; high levels of radiation, acidity, or alkalinity; absence of water; water containing a high concentration of salt or sugar; presence of sulphur, petroleum, and other toxic substances.

Understanding and engineering the relations that exist between the microstructure, the synthesis and processing, the properties, and the performance of all materials, i.e. of what we make all engineered structures from.

Robotics comprises mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science for the production of robots and computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processin

Innovative technologies to better diagnose and treat cancer using state-of-the-art knowledge and platforms to discover biomarkers and develop efficient small molecules, antibodies and cell therapies.

Medical technology is any technology used to save lives or transform the health of individ- uals. suffering from a wide range of conditions. In its many forms, medical technology is already diagnosing, monitoring and treating virtually every disease or condition that affects us.

The broad scope of digital health includes categories such as mobile health (mHealth), health information technology (IT), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, and personalized medicine.

Developing reliable energy storage systems like electrochemical storage, fuel cells and metal hydrides is critical to the the integration of renewable energy sources and to the controlled use of renewable energy.
