Researchers
Our yet small, but growing research team is affiliated with the Institute of Translational Medicine. To be able to translate the results from basic research into a clinical outcome requires interdisciplinary teams - this is the heart of our research.
Max is our innovation enthusiast with a great focus on achieving actual change in healthcare provision in Switzerland. At D-HEST, he is a PhD Candidate focusing on the question of how digital innovations can effectively diffuse in the Swiss healthcare system. Also, he heads the Health Innovation Hub at the Kantonsspital Baden, the partner hospital of ETH Zürich in the field of medical education. There, he is particularly entrusted with the task of identifying and implementing the latest digital health innovations.
Moreover, Max sits on several committees of national research projects or incubators in the field of digital health. Also, he is founder of a start-up in the field of sustainable nutrition and worked for several years as a strategy consultant with a focus on innovation for large corporations.

JD (Jascha Drew) describes himself as an always available Ninja at ETH. And this 24/7 availability is vital: JD coordinates CoVMass, the COVID-19 test programme of ETH.
At the beginning of 2021, ETH decided to build up a COVID-19 test programme to enable a safe and healthy work and study environment. But how can mass testing be performed without creating a superspreader event? The solution is automation, and ETH with its enormous expertise in all aspects of engineering is the perfect place to build up such an automated testing system. However, still many people are necessary to make CoVMass possible: engineers at the pd|z (Product Development Group Zurich) modify the Selecta machines, so that they do not give out sweets in return for money, but testkits after scanning ETH cards; NEXUS Personalized Health Technologies organizes the user registration, sample tracking and lab automation for test pooling; ETH Logistics makes sure that the samples are always at the right place at the right time; the external pageInstitute for Medical Virology at UZH performs the PCR tests; and the team of Safety, Security, Health and Environment at ETH (SGU) supervises the programme to be sure that it applies to the rules of the ETH COVID-19 taskforce. And the little gear that coordinates all these different stakeholders and keeps the system running, that is JD.
Additionally, JD is our joker supporting different team members whenever necessary and coordinates the IT of the project team. Hopefully CoVMass will soon no longer be needed and if so, JD has already a new project to coordinate: LivingLab, a system for primary healthcare for students at ETH.

Stephanie Stalder completed her Master’s degree in Neuroscience at the ETH Zürich in 2018. During her Master thesis she worked in the field of clinical gait analysis at the Spinal Cord Injury Center, Balgrist University Hospital, Switzerland. Her focus during the Master thesis was on the investigation of targeted treadmill walking in healthy and spinal cord injured individuals. From October 2018 she started her position as a research assistant in the Neuro-Urology group at Balgrist University Hospital in the team of Prof. Dr. med. Thomas M. Kessler. In this year she gained insights into the field of neuro-urology, the preparation of multicentre RCTs and expanded her experience at the Spinal Cord Injury Centre. Since October 2019, she focused more on the research rather than the administrative side starting a SNSF-funded doctorate at the Department of Neuro-Urology, Balgrist University Hospital, University Zürich. Specifically, she is using neurophysiological assessments investigating neuromodulation and neural correlates of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
In the bTUNED and TASCI projects she is involved in the daily conduct of the study such as daily TTNS intervention at patient’s bedside, clinical neurophysiological examinations and multichannel neurophysiological assessments of all patients.
