Open OpportunitiesDiaxxo (diaxxo.com) is a start-up originated at ETH Zürich, where in the past 4 years we have
developed and prototyped an innovative Point-of-Care Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) device. Our
vision is to bring the power of molecular diagnostics to every doctor’s office, thanks to our new
pre-loaded PCR test kits that allow for simpler and faster sample preparation steps. In 2020 our
devices have been used by more than 250 laypeople for the rapid detection of COVID-19 in a field
study that we run at ETH Zürich, and our systems are currently being tested at the Swiss Tropical and
Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH). - Biology

| A Master project starting in Spring 2023 is available in the group of Prof. Roland Riek, Laboratory for Physical Chemistry (D-CHAB). The student will build a 25 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The spectrometer console will run on a compact board (SDR Lab, Red Pitaya) [1]. A permanent magnet will (10 x 10 x 10 cm3) generate a field of 0.6 T, corresponding to a 1H NMR frequency of 25 MHz. - Antenna Technology, Chemical Spectroscopy, Digital Systems, Electrical Engineering, Instruments and Techniques

| The immune system plays a crucial role in protecting our body from foreign threats and infections. However, due to ineffective vaccines and pathogens evading the immune system this does not always work which results in many different disease such as chronic inflammation, Cancer, Virus infections. In order to find out why immune cells in our body are not capable of responding efficiently to identifying these threat, we are trying to uncover how each cell behaves when an immune response is triggered. We are doing this by encapsulating cells into individual droplets and observing their behaviour, such as the production of an antibody against a disease. Using this single-cell droplet technology approach, we are measuring in real-time from 10-100,000 cells for multiple of these functions such as Antibodies simultaneously creating large image datasets. In order to improve biology and medicine of the immune systems and the development of better vaccines, we need highly-trained algorithms to better extract relevant conclusions from the big data we generate from highly parallelized, multiplexed single cell experiments. To achieve this, we aim to further improve machine learning and objection detection as well as tracking based algorithms.
