Inspiration comes of working every day - but only with a positive mindset. I want to ‎ensure that technology simplifies the everyday life of all those who are particularly ‎challenged by health issues. I graduated from ETH Zurich in Biomedical Engineering ‎and Robotics and served in various management positions at several SMEs before ‎completing my PhD studies in nanosciences at the University of Basel on soft and nanostructured electrodes summa ‎cum laude. My research interests include the ‎design and fabrication of future brain-computer interfaces and neuromodulation ‎techniques. As CEO of Bottneuro, I’m pushing novel electrical stimulation therapies ‎to real applications for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.

AD has to be understood to bring sustainable improvements to patients. I am ‎convinced that by expanding our knowledge about neurodegenerative diseases we ‎are able to limit and counteract harmful disease progression. Therefore, I studied ‎biotechnology to understand how biological systems work and how we can control ‎them for our benefit. I graduated from ETH Zurich (M.Sc. Biotechnology, ETH) in 2017, where I was ‎taught scientific work on fundamental research. After graduation, I joined the University ‎Hospital of Basel for my Ph.D. studies and graduated in 2022 (Ph.D. in neurobiology, University of Basel). During my Ph.D. studies I’ve worked in translational research on ‎neuromodulation of glial cells. Using defined electrical stimulation parameters glia cell behavior and activity was modulated. Now, Bottneuro allows us to translate our preclinical research ‎to clinical application and to bring direct benefits to millions of patients.

I've found nothing more interesting than pushing the cutting-edge BCI technologies toward improving human health and quality of life.

I graduated in physics and during my journey I had the opportunity to develop and manage different projects in interdisciplinary fields and cultures. Computational physics and simulation in nanophotonics, experimental physics for quantum transport of 2D materials and fabrication of nano electronic devices. Meanwhile, getting to know BCI drives me toward Biomedical engineering where I worked on AI-facilitated image-guided therapy and development of flexible electrodes for soft neural interfaces.

At Bottneuro, I have taken on the challenge of digital therapy for neurodegenerative diseases, helping to expand the technology and push it towards personalised treatment.

I am fascinated about psychology and neuroscience to better understand human behavior. I studied psychology at the University of Basel and received my Master's degree with major in economic psychology. Already during my studies my passion for neuropsychology awoke. AD is always presented as an incurable disease, so I was hooked to work together on a solution at Bottneuro. Thanks to my economic background and organizational skills, I will be driving Bottneuro forward in the area of business development. In this startup, my passions for the human mind, behavior and experience as well as neuroscience can be combined and further developed.

I studied business and economics at University in Basel before turning to medical informatics at FHNW in Muttenz/Olten. During my studies and my role at a pharmaceutical company I recognized the impact of digital therapies and potential patient benefits. After graduating in 2022 I want to establish digital transformation in healthcare and Bottneuro makes it possible to apply innovative solutions in the area of neurodegenerative diseases.

I'm a mechanical engineer at heart. I love swift and efficient product design, especially if it involves innovative technologies.

I'm a physicist with interdisciplinary experience who loves to solve problems. I'm inspired to help treat neurodegenerative diseases at Bottneuro.
