Video: AneuX explained
AneuX is one of the nine Medical Research and Development (MRD) Projects supported by SystemsX.ch. This project employs a systems biology approach in the investigation of aneurysms. An aneurysm is a limited, irreversible dilution and dilation of the vascular wall of arteries and veins. The study is being conducted by the University Hospital of Geneva and the ZHAW, which has produced an informative short film about the project.

Using microfluidics to improve genetics research
Scientists at EPFL have developed a technique that can be a game-changer for genetics by making the characterization of DNA-binding proteins much faster, more accurate, and efficient. (Image: A. Isakova/EPFL). This research was supported by a SystemsX.ch Special Opportunities Project. Read the article published by EPFL »
Wichtiges Protein in der Entstehung und Behandlung von Brustkrebs identifiziert
Wie entsteht Brustkrebs und warum sind manche Patientinnen resistent gegen etablierte Therapien? Forschende der Universität Basel haben neue Erkenntnisse zu den molekularen Prozessen im Brustgewebe gewonnen. Sie identifizierten den Tumorsuppressor LATS als zentralen Akteur in der Entwicklung und Behandlung von Brustkrebs. Diese Forschungsarbeit wurde von SystemsX.ch untertützt (MRD Projekt MetastasiX).
