SKINTEGRITY.CH · Interdisciplinary skin research
SKINTEGRITY.CH is a collaborative research initiative, which brings together experts from different disciplines from Swiss and selected external institutions to address the following overarching aims:
- To gain a mechanistic understanding of skin repair and disease using a highly interdisciplinary approach
- To develop novel approaches for improved diagnosis and treatment of impaired wound healing and inflammatory and malignant skin diseases
- To provide an interdisciplinary training for the next generation of scientists, clinicians and engineers
SKINTEGRITY.CH is based on the Zurich Initiative “SKINTEGRITY”, which was selected as flagship project of Hochschulmedizin Zurich in 2016. Due to its remarkable success and positive evaluation of new projects in 2020, the program was prolonged and extended as a collaborative research initiative at a national level.

Fewer animal experiments with artificial models
How can methods and tools be developed to ensure that the number of animal experiments and the number of animals used in research are significantly reduced? A research team from the University of Fribourg is working together with ETH Zurich to investigate this question:
