A journey through the human body

The app accompanying the SystemsX.ch documentary film is now available to download on Apple and Android devices. The app comes in the form of a touchbook that uses text, images, films and games to introduce users to some of the cutting-edge research being undertaken in systems biology. The app is currently available in English for tablets only (both iPads and Android devices). It can be found by searching for “SystemsX” on your tablet in the app store. The download is free.

In addition, the French and Italian versions of the film are now available to view on our YouTube channel.

Les études prolongent la durée de vie des non-fumeurs

Chaque année consacrée aux études universitaires prolonge la durée de vie d’environ une année. Mais le tabagisme annule cet avantage. C’est ce qu’ont découvert des scientifiques participant à l’initiative de recherche SystemsX.ch, dont Zoltán Kutalik du SIB Institut Suisse de Bioinformatique et du Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV). L’étude, publiée dans Nature Communications, offre les estimations les plus précises à ce jour de l'impact causal des facteurs de style de vie sur la durée de vie de chacun.détails »

Become member of the new LS2 Systems Biology Section

With SystemsX.ch coming to an end in December 2018, the new Systems Biology Section of LS2 has been created and will facilitate continued coordination and interaction between researchers from different scientific disciplines working on biological questions. The annual section meetings will enable intensive knowledge transfer and networking between systems biology groups in Switzerland. All members of the SystemsX.ch community are encouraged to join the new section and attend the systems biology symposium at the LS2 annual meeting in Lausanne on February 12 and 13, 2018.
