NEXUS Personalized Health is an ETH core facility for medicine and clinical research. NEXUS provides services along the whole value chain of biomedical research and development projects. It offers services in clinical bioinformatics, statistics, biomedical data management, software engineering and lab automation. Since summer of 2022 I am Managing Director of the facility. Before, I was the head of the Clinical Bioinformatics Unit since its foundation in late 2014, in which I also played a major role (www.nexus.ethz.ch). Since May 2021 I am Senior Scientist at ETH Zurich. Before taking the helm at CBU I was CEO of my own statistical consulting company Quantik AG, which I founded directly after my PhD at ETH Zurich in Mathematics (Statistics). I am interested in reproducibility, systems for FAIR data, turning research into applicable tools, and the general future ecosystem of health. I am also interested in improving clinical diagnostics, harmonising global knowledge about molecular makeups of disease, and in general statistical representation of results, be it visualisation or numbers.
The FAIR Board champions the FAIR principles – Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability – across ETH Zurich’s digital research ecosystem. Its focus spans research data and metadata, scientific software, electronic lab notes, and digital images. Acting as a strategic advisory body, the FAIR Board supports the Vice President for Research and the Vice President for Infrastructure and Sustainability in shaping forward-looking policies and practical solutions for the sustainable management and reuse of digital research assets.
NEXUS Personalized Health is a core facility at ETH Zurich created to enable and accelerate the execution of translational research projects by providing key technological resources, tools, and collaboration opportunities for the personalized health research community. NEXUS aims at closing the gap between fundamental research and clinical application by offering dedicated, tailor-made and purposeful services. Learn more at www.nexus.ethz.ch
