A Translational Institution: The DBE Research Day

Because clinicians need to focus fully on their work, they often cannot know that engineers have a solution to a clinical problem. And engineers, for the same reason, may not know which clinical problems they actually have a solution for.

Bringing these two professions together in an inspired and stimulating way can match problems and solutions and create real innovation. That is the goal and mission of our research day.

RDX: 10th DBE Research Day | 21 August 2024

The DBE Research Day has always been the center stage for the inprired-inspiring exchange in which the boldest and often the best ideas first surface. Through the last ten years, this event developed from some kind of shop window that was supposed to attract clinicians and make them aware of technological opportunities to a vivid forum for an new kind of specialization: translational collaboration.

In this section you will find memories and impressions of the previous DBE Research Days, including posters, detailed programs and pictures.

The 9th DBE Research Day has taken place on 29 August 2023. This event focused on the concept a tandem presentations, in which clinicians and researchers together presented their work in a science-slam inspired way. If you want to see Olivier Braissant dressed as a rabbit, or Cristina Granziera as a pop music queen, see the impressions of RD9!

In 2021 we installed a new format called ‹Translational Tandems›, which showcases ongoing joint projects with clinicians and at the same time the translational focus of the DBE. A video of these tandem presentations can be found below. Such tandems will be an integral part of all future DBE research days and will help to create more collaborative projects for the benefit of the patients. Check the funny video below on the translational tamdems. Please also see the pictures of the event taken by T. Schürch and R. Wendler.
