Swiss Centre For Occupational And Environmental Health Scoeh

The Swiss Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health (SCOEH) conducts research on factors that contribute to a healthy workplace and environment, and shares its insights by consulting for governments and companies, and by educating workers, managers and university students. We see health as a broad concept that is more than just the absence of disease; instead, it is a state of physical, mental and social well-being, as defined by the World Health Organisation

Gene Learning Association

Our association was born from the intersection of our interests in the development of innovative diagnostic methods and in cancer treatments. Three of our members are recognized researchers who are developing a promising method of diagnosing cancer and other pathologies; other members have embraced this cause by the need to learn about different approaches to treating cancer and to share their knowledge with those who need it. Innovative research We developed a novel approach to gene expression analysis and training of diagnostic and prognostic human pathology models. First, it has to be noted that most of human pathologies affect expression of not just one but rather of many genes. Second, it is then easy to realize that disease might have an impact on many parts of entire gene network. Thus, instead of searching for the specific genes we used gene expression stoichiometries to develop diagnostic and prognostic models for human pathologies. In principle, our holistic approach results in the following key advantages: 1) Significant reduction in stoichiometry signatures models’ dimensionality. 2) Reduction in noise for stoichiometry signatures. As a result, reduced noise in feature space simplifies models training and improves their cross-validation accuracy. 3) Models trained on big data generated by high-throughput RNA-sequencing or microarrays technologies potentially can be transferred to low cost platforms, such as RT-PCR. 4) Last, but not least, our approach may uncover novel therapeutic targets based on analysis of stoichiometry changes in constituents of gene network. Information ressource Considering demographics and aging of human populations cancer is expected to remain as one of the leading mortality-causing disease. Thus, our community service will be to collect information and create an information ressource on innovative anti-cancer cures for those who need it.

Kof Swiss Economic Institute Of Eth Zurich

Founded in 1938, the KOF Swiss Economic Institute of ETH Zurich is one of the oldest economic research institutes in Switzerland. It provides independent and competent contributions both to the discussion of economic policy in Switzerland and to international research. It considers itself an exchange platform for economists and drives forward its future-oriented research through national and international cooperation with science, institutions and industry. The Institute, which is affiliated at the ETH Department of Management, Technology and Economics (D-MTEC), supports various expert committees such as Econpol, an European research network. It also builds bridges between economics and the public, for example through regular events on topics relevant to economic policy. The Institute has its finger on the pulse of the economy. Its scientific work is based on company surveys of more than Swiss companies, which form the basis for many research projects and are indispensable for economic forecasts. However, the Institute's work has long gone far beyond economic research. The more than 70 employees of the KOF and the three affiliated chairs deal with questions on innovation, internationalisation, governmental framework conditions or the comparison of international education systems. In addition, the training of young scientists is of great importance. Currently, 27 doctoral students are employed at the KOF. The Institute is headed by Prof. Dr. Jan-Egbert Sturm and the Vice Directors Prof. Dr. Peter Egger and Prof. Dr. Marko Köthenbürger.

Mastermind Suisse

Le groupe Mastermind Suisse est constitué de 5 à 9 personnes qui se réunissent régulièrement (2 à 4 fois par mois) pendant 2 heures. Les participants sont des personnes hautement motivées qui sont prêtes à demander - et à donner - conseils et soutiens à d’autres personnes et seront présentes à chaque réunion. En raison de la nature du groupe Mastermind, un engagement est nécessaire. Les membres de votre groupe Mastermind comptent sur votre participation et vous voulez savoir qu’ils seront également là pour vous. Ainsi les membres s’engagent dès la première session à participer à l’ensemble du processus Mastermind qui se déroule sur 10 sessions minimum ou à trouver un suppléant en cas d’absence. Pourquoi? Parce que les meilleurs groupes - les plus constructifs, ceux qui aident chaque individu à progresser rapidement vers ses buts - sont ceux qui cheminent ensemble pendant au moins trois mois. Une participation financière vous sera demandée pour confirmer votre engagement aux 10 sessions. Chaque session est rythmé par des temps de partage, de question/réponse, de résolutions de problème rencontré par les membres. A tour de rôle, chacun exprime un questionnement, un désir de progresser, se fixe publiquement des objectifs pour les prochaines semaines ou mois… La parole et les conseils sont répartis entre tous de façon équilibrée, ainsi, tout le monde y gagne en retour et en synergies. Les membres du groupe repartent enrichis des témoignages de chacun.
