On the way to light-controlled medicine
PSI researchers have elucidated the structure of special photoreceptors.
Breast cancer classification using AI
Researchers at PSI and MIT are developing a new approach, which combines imaging and artificial intelligence to improve the staging of breast cancer.
A bionanomachine for green chemistry
PSI researchers have characterised a unique enzyme from bacteria that enables an important chemical reaction.
Dr. Chiara Favaretto has been honored with the Alavi-Mandell Award 2024
We congratulate Dr. Chiara Favaretto for the excellent research work she did during her time at the Center for Radiopharmaceutical Sciences.
New possibilities for a healing toxin
PSI researchers discover a surprising mechanism that could broaden the spectrum of therapeutic uses of botulinum toxin.
Enabling early detection of cancer
PSI researchers develop a fundamentally new method for early detection of cancer.
Reprogramming tissue mechanically
Scientists at PSI have used mechanical stimuli to turn connective tissue cells into stem-cell-like cells and transplanted these into damaged skin tissue. This speeds up the regeneration of the skin and the healing of wounds.
Deciphering the secrets of the brain
A place for cutting-edge research: PSI researchers to receive comprehensive funding from the US NIH for their brain research.
Using light to switch drugs on and off
PSI researchers record a molecular film of a cancer drug fitted with a photoswitch. This opens new insights for drug developers.
