EPFL Research Day
© 2011 EPFL
What do scientists dream about? You can ask two well-known speakers this question yourself on June 7. They will be speaking about their research, describing their successes, sharing their hopes and – why not? – their dreams.
Michel Mayor’s name will forever be associated with the 1995 discovery of the first exoplanet. This world-renowned Swiss astrophysicist, a member of the Geneva Observatory, has repeatedly shared, with great talent and generosity, the story of his success and his vision of outer space.
Bob Langer is a pioneer in the use of biomaterials for tissue engineering and drug delivery. His research focuses on using nanotechnology to develop new targeted strategies for cancer treatment.
The two speakers will participate in the research awards ceremony.
