BioSensing DaysA Medtech Hub at EPFL
Since 2017, EPFL students have been participating in SensUs, an international biosensing competition. To ensure the transfer of knowledge between iterations, we decided to found an officially recognized EPFL association!
The main activity of the association is to continue EPFL's success on the international stage. Every year, our competition team embarks on a 12-month journey during which the students gain hands-on experience in blood biomarker detection systems. Each iteration tackles a different pathology, resulting in entrepreneurship opportunities as we also conduct in-depth market research to find real-world applications for our devices.
We are branching out into other forms of biosensing and are preparing the first ever BioSensing Days, an interdisciplinary conference bringing together academics from EPFL and abroad!
