Simone Schürle likes to get to the bottom of things. Since August, the microand nanotechnology expert has been working as Assistant Professor of Responsive Biomedical Systems at ETH Zurich to develop tiny machines for medical applications in the human body. It is early morning on Simone Schürle's last day working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, USA. The very next day she will depart to Europe to take up a position as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Responsive Biomedical Systems at ETH Zurich for the Autumn Semester.

'I always work right up to the last minute.' - Her work is her passion.
