Laboratory for Biological Geochemistry

Scientists at EPFL use cutting-edge imaging techniques to shed light on the progression of Parkinson’s disease by studying how the main culprit, the protein alpha-synuclein, disrupts cellular metabolism.

Summer series: A calling for research. Initially, the dynamic, Danish-born Anders Meibom, a professor at EPFL’s Laboratory for Biological Geochemistry since 2012, was not the slightest bit interested in corals. Now he studies them, a loaf of homemade bread always close at hand.

After a successful first mission in the Gulf of Aqaba, the Transnational Red Sea Center has now released a film highlighting the expedition in Djibouti in September 2022 to study the beautiful corals of this nation located at the entrance of the Red Sea.
