🧠🇨🇭 The Lausanne-based neurorestore center, led by Jocelyne Bloch and Gregoire Courtine, has been honored with the 2026 Grand Prix scientifique of the NRJ GROUP's NRJ Foundation – Institut de France. Based at CHUV | Lausanne university hospital and EPFL, NeuroRestore was recognized for its brain-spine interface, a “digital bridge” that helps restore movement in people with paralysis by reconnecting brain activity with spinal cord stimulation. The research has already shown that a person with a severe spinal cord injury could stand, walk, climb stairs and navigate complex terrain, marking a major breakthrough in neurotechnology and rehabilitation. This recognition further highlights Western Switzerland’s leading role in neuroscience, engineering and medical innovation. ➡️ Full article: https://lnkd.in/eQAZwCyD To learn more, watch our #GettingSerious conversation with Jocelyne Bloch and Grégoire Courtine, where they discuss the science behind helping a paralyzed man walk again. 📍GGBa helps international companies set up and grow in Western Switzerland — with tailored, free support at every step, from first contact to full establishment.
