Welcome Sarah!

Sarah studied Chemistry at Chimie Paris-Tech (Paris, France) where she graduated in 2024. In our group she will design and develop DNA biosensors for dual fluorescence / capacitive detection and discrimination of respiratory viruses in the frame of the project SMILE - Saliva-based MIcrofluidic “Lab-on-chip” devicE for Paediatric Respiratory Viral Illness diagnostics. This project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, is a collaborative research program between our group at EPFL, SUPSI (Dr Igor Stefanini, Department of Innovative Technology, Lugano), the Swiss Tropical Health Institute (Prof. Daniel Paris, Department of Medicine, Basel) and the Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques (Prof. Benjamin Koudou, Research and Development, Abidjan).
