LiftPose3D: Turning 2D images into 3D models
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have developed a deep learning-based method called LiftPose3D, which can reconstruct 3D animal poses using only 2D poses from one camera. This method will have impact in neuroscience and bioinspired robotics.
Lung cancer: Hope for increasing immunotherapy efficacy
Research
EPFL
A “paradox and setback” forced EPFL scientists to dig deeper when seeking a means to boost the power of immunotherapy in lung cancer. Understanding the problem – and finding the solution – has led to a promising potential therapy for some patients.
New database could accelerate drug repurposing for various diseases
Research
EPFL
NICEdrug.ch, a new database developed by a group of researchers from EPFL, may help scientists assess potential drugs more quickly, including how they are metabolized by the body and their potential side effects.
Organoid bladders reveal secrets of UTIs
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL have developed two complementary bladder models to study urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli: bladder organoids and a bladder-on-a-chip. The two studies reveal how bacteria invade the bladder, and how they evade the immune system and resist antibiotics.
Bacteria navigate on surfaces using a "sense of touch"
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have characterized a mechanism that allows bacteria to direct their movement in response to the mechanical properties of the surfaces the microbes move on — a finding that could help fight certain pathogens.
How will machine learning change science?
Research
EPFL
For millennia scientists have manually combed through data in a bid to find meaningful patterns to solve complex problems. Now, many researchers believe that Machine Learning will fundamentally change the way science is done.
