Research

Engineering molecular interactions with machine learning
By using deep learning-generated ‘fingerprints’ to characterize millions of protein fragments, EPFL researchers have computationally designed novel protein binders that attach seamlessly to key targets, including the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
Innovation

Engineering Industry Day hits the ground running
After a three-year break due to the pandemic, EPFL’s Engineering Industry Day enjoyed a successful fourth edition on March 8th, when representatives of academia and industry converged at the SwissTech Convention Center to tackle the latest challenges and opportunities in engineering entrepreneurship.
Education

Learning to “sell” a prototype designed in just a few weeks
For the last four years at EPFL, a Master’s course jointly run by the College of Management of Technology and the School of Engineering has been winning over students seeking a course that meets the needs of local industry.
