Colette Bichsel is currently employed as a Senior R&D Engineer at CSEM Tools for Life Sciences in Allschwil. She holds a PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Bern, where she developed an in vitro perfusable and contractile lung microvascular model in Prof. Olivier Guenat's group at the ARTORG Center. After postdoctoral studies at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Prof. Joyce Bischoff's group, where she studied vascular anomalies, she joined Roche as a Scientist on the first round of interdisciplinary projects launched by the Institute for Translational Bioengineering (ITB, now IHB), focusing on in vitro blood brain barrier models for drug transport studies.
Colette is passionate about simple but not simplistic in vitro models to better understand human health and disease, by bridging molecular and cellular biology with bioengineering.
