Translational Science at ETH

Prof. Goldhahn and his team are heavily engaged in getting more medical topics into ETH, especially in the context of the new bachelor in medicine but also for research. The research is focused specifically around the translation from preclinical findings into early human studies (proof of concept).

Towards on-skin analysis of sweat for managing disorders of substance abuse

Non-invasive sweat analysis with state-of-the-art sensor technology - patient-centered and thus the basis of a precise treatment strategy. We congratulate Dr. med Noé Brasier, MedLab Fellow, on the recent publication of his Comment paper on this innovative health topic in Nature Biomedical Engineering.

Artificial intelligence: Hype or Myth

What used to be viewed with great skepticism in medical treatment is now seen as a savior par excellence: artificial intelligence has changed its reputation. Nevertheless, proper clinical studies are now needed to validate the individual applications. It is time for scientifically substantiated facts instead of mere assertions!

When AI shows compassion

One of the main arguments for rejecting artificial intelligence was that it could never achieve the same empathic abilities in the doctor-patient relationship. But is that really the case?

Research

Our research is divided into two parts: Historically, Jörg's focus is on clinical research projects in medical engineering. Now, with the greater commitment of ETH in medical teaching and with its innovative teaching programs, increasingly also research studies in medical education are possible. Therefore, the project team medicine has a dual research focus: clinical research and medical education.

Teaching

Our group is organising and coordinating the study program "Bachelor Human Medicine". Additionally, ETH is increasingly engaged in establishing continuing education for physicians, setting up MAS and CAS study programs.
