Welcome to Translational Cardiovascular Technologies - TCT

TCT is merging ETH engineering knowledge with DHZB/Charité medical experise to bring cutting-edge technologies into cardiac clinical practise. Focussing on data science, multiscale manufacturing, robotics and biotechnology, our interdisciplinary projects are conducted exclusively in collaboration with ETH departments of technology.

Medical expertise

For your scientific projects or educational programms, our clinical team can provide expertise and support in all areas of cardiovascular medicine.

The Group

 

Research

Zurich Heart

The Zurich Heart Project investigates and develops new technologies that are required to improve the performance of existing ventricular assist devices (VADs). We are aiming at disruptive innovations and technologies to facilitate radically new artificial heart designs and assist device technologies, such as soft pumps and hybrid membranes.

 

Blood Flow and Cardiac Energetics

We are investigating heart diseases and their impact on blood flow dynamics and cardiac work. Magnetic resonance imgaging enables simulations for deeper understanding of flow efficiency and energetic correlations.

 

Research Overview

D-HEST News

Microalgae for the food industry

Could tiny organisms that grow where conventional plants do not thrive be the key to sustainable and nutrient-rich food? Researchers at D-HEST are working with industry to develop technologies that can harness the potential of microalgae.

ETH Board awards Sibylle Grad the title "Professor" at D-HEST

At its meeting of 5 December 2024 and upon application of Joël Mesot, President of ETH Zurich, the ETH Board awarded Sibylle Grad the title "Adjunct Professor" at D-HEST.

How the latest sensors analyse body fluids

A new generation of wearable sensors will fundamentally change medicine. Researchers at ETH Zurich and international experts have now published an overview showing what is possible with such sensors and what questions their developers should consider to ensure their successful future use.
