Equilibrium pressure limits in stellarators
This thesis delves into the potential of magnetic fusion energy, and in particular focuses on the stellarator concept. Stellarators use external coils to produce 3-dimensional (3D) magnetic fields that confine a thermonuclear plasma in a topologically toro ...
EPFL2023Microfluidic characterisation reveals broad range of SARS-CoV-2 antibody affinity in human plasma
Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Marc Emmenegger
The clinical outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infections, which can range from asymptomatic to lethal, is crucially shaped by the concentration of antiviral antibodies and by their affinity to their targets. However, the affinity of polyclonal antibody responses in p ...
LIFE SCIENCE ALLIANCE LLC2022Programmable DARPin-based receptors for the detection of thrombotic markers
Leo Scheller, Yujia Wang, Haifeng Ye
Cellular therapies remain constrained by the limited availability of sensors for disease markers. Here we present an integrated target-to-receptor pipeline for constructing a customizable advanced modular bispecific extracellular receptor (AMBER) that comb ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Model-based optimization of magnetic control in the TCV tokamak: design and experiments
Thermonuclear controlled fusion is a promising answer to the current energy and climate issues, providing a safe carbon-free source of energy which is virtually inexhaustible. In magnetic confinement thermonuclear fusion based on tokamak reactors, hydrogen ...
EPFL2021Development and validation of a multiplex UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of the investigational antibiotic against multi-resistant tuberculosis macozinone (PBTZ169) and five active metabolites in human plasma
Stewart Cole, Anthony Vocat, Thierry Buclin, Jeff Pitteloud
The emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains resistant to current first-line antibiotic regimens constitutes a major global health threat. New treatments against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) are thus eagerly needed in particular in coun ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2019Separation of blood microsamples by exploiting sedimentation at the microscale
Philippe Renaud, David Forchelet
Microsample analysis is highly bene cial in blood-based testing where cutting-edge bioanalytical technologies enable the analysis of volumes down to a few tens of microliters. Despite the availability of analytical methods, the di culty in obtaining high-q ...
2018Microdevice for Sedimentation-based Separation of Blood Microsamples at the Point of Collection
Laboratory blood testing plays a central role in current diagnostics and therapeutical decisions. Thus, errors have a direct impact on care quality and cost. The majority of errors occur in the pre-analytical phase, when samples are collected, stored and p ...
EPFL2017Synthesis, characterization and ab initio investigation of a panchromatic ullazine–porphyrin photosensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells
Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Ursula Röthlisberger, Basile Curchod, Magdalena Anna Marszalek, Negar Ashari Astani, Julien Edouard Frey, Simon Mathew
An ullazine unit was employed as a donor moiety in a donor-pi-acceptor (D-p-A) motif, employing the porphyrin macrocycle as a pi-system. Synthesis of this ullazine-porphyrin dyad containing sensitizer (SM63) was achieved and an investigation of the electro ...
2016Proteomics of Cerebrospinal Fluid: Throughput and Robustness Using a Scalable Automated Analysis Pipeline for Biomarker Discovery
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a body fluid of high clinical relevance and an important source of potential biomarkers for brain-associated damages, such as traumatic brain injury and stroke, and for brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Herei ...
Amer Chemical Soc2015Comprehensive and Scalable Highly Automated MS-Based Proteomic Workflow for Clinical Biomarker Discovery in Human Plasma
Over the past decade, mass spectrometric performance has greatly improved in terms of sensitivity, dynamic range, and speed. By contrast, only limited progress has been accomplished with regard to automation, throughput, and robustness of the proteomic sam ...
