Personalized Health: National Funding for Basel-led Research Groups

Nine research projects involving Basel-based researchers in the field of personalized health are to receive funding from the Swiss government: support will be given to researchers from the University of Basel, University Hospital Basel, University Children's Hospital Basel, and ETH Zurich's Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, which is based in Basel. The funded research projects encompass various areas of disease, such as severe bacterial infections, cancer, physical frailty, immunotherapy, and neuroscience. In addition, they seek to bolster the accessibility and management of medical data for research projects, as well as to improve the availability of data relating to personalized health in children and young patients. The University of Basel and the two university hospitals are also providing their own additional funding of more than CHF 2.5 million. Five Basel-led projects. Five of the supported projects are coordinated by researchers from the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel. The "Personalized Swiss Sepsis Study" (PD Dr. Adrian Egli) aims to predict the emergence and individual development of blood poisoning earlier and more accurately than before and therefore to allow more effective treatment.
