Presidents Mattarella (IT) and Cassis (CH) at ETH
On Wednesday, 30 November, President Mattarella and President Cassis have visited ETH Zurich, where they listened to the presentation of four researchers, including Dr. Michele Gregorini.
Michele completed his doctorate at ETH Zurich and he is now a Pioneer Fellow. Together with Dr. Bechtold and Prof. Stark, they co-founded the ETH spin-off external page Diaxxo, which develops DNA analysis systems that enable a precise, reliable, rapid and cost-effective diagnosis. Their point-of-care PCR tests deliver results within 30 minutes and allow doctors to detect and treat diseases accordingly quickly. Since the tests do not require a complex infrastructure and only cost around five francs, they are particularly suitable for resource-limited settings.
