My organisation

The University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (German: Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz, FHNW) is a university of applied sciences in Switzerland. It is one of the largest universities in the country in terms of student enrollment. It is an inter-cantonal public law institution with its own legal personality. The cantons are Aargau, Basel-Landschaft, Basel-Stadt, and Solothurn. As part of the state treaty, the supporting cantons manage the FHNW with a fourfold performance mandate. This includes training and further education, application-oriented research and development as well as services for the benefit of third parties.

About me

Professor at the School of Life Sciences (FHNW), leading the group for Cell Biology and in vitro Toxicology.

I have strong links with the local community of Biotechnology in Switzerland (president of Biotechnet until 2025) and the pharma industry (worked 15 years at Roche).

My research focuses on mechanistic toxicology, with a strong focus on advanced in vitro systems for liver, CNS and kidney diseases. I champion the implementation of NAMs.

The FHNW has excellent infrastructure to support collaborative projects with academia and/or industry in applied research.
