Our group works on molecular sensing integrating concepts of chemistry, physics and engineering. We offer a unique bouquet of fundamental and applied research on sensor technologies to respond to societal needs.
We develop wearable tools based on our sensing concepts that enable the detection of critical biomarkers from breath or interstitial fluid minimally invasive at the point-of-care.
Ranging from air quality monitoring, over the detection of contaminants in food, to the safe handling of green fuels, our lab develops tools to detect and quantify critical molecules at trace-level concentrations.

Falling Walls 2024 Winner Andreas Güntner and our lab have been selected in the category Engineering & Technology for their research “Transforming Healthcare with Molecular Sensing”.
Congratulations to Matteo D’Andria and Stephan Kohler for being awarded with two Willi-Studer Awards and one ETH Medal for the best Master degrees in Process Engineering / Micro & Nanosystems and outstanding MSc Theses performed at HSL.
Breath sensors as a tool to guide personalized nutrition? Our research about measuring breath acetone was covered in yesterday's SRF show Einstein (min. 12:25-17:00, in German) together with Simone Hersberger, Philipp Gerber, Lia Bally and Marcel Salathé.
