The Petrichor installation aims to restore rain’s central role and encourage reflection on its presence. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe installation consists of two parts:<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>A 1-square-meter funnel </strong>that collects rainwater while amplifying its sound. The funnel is modeled after a flower—the bromeliad—which naturally collects rainwater. The water is then channeled into the second part of the installation.<br>\r\n\t.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>A wooden cabinet containing 63 plastic containers, each holding 5 liters.</strong> All the containers are connected to one another by a system of pipes; the rainwater fills the containers from the bottom up. The 10 containers at the bottom of the cabinet are marked in blue; this corresponds to the minimum daily water intake for one person, as defined by the WHO, which is 50 liters. The containers above them—totaling 265 liters—represent the average water consumption of a person in Switzerland, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office. This cabinet highlights the contrast between these two volumes. By relating these figures to the collected rainwater, the installation demonstrates that water remains a limited resource and is therefore a major challenge for the world today and in the future.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW43647999\">The installation has aesthetic and auditory elements designed to enliven the campus and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability.

For decades, aging research has focused on the brain's own cells. But our bodies also carry a second, powerful system that changes with age: the immune system. Best known for fighting infections, the immune system also reaches into the brain and helps shape how it works. My research aims to answer a simple but underexplored question: as the immune system ages, does it stop protecting the brain and start harming it, and if so, can we intervene?<br>\r\n<br>\r\nI will share how I have used engineered proteins, delivered directly into the brain, to precisely target specific immune cells and rebalance their behavior. Building on this work, my lab is now developing a toolkit of precision tools, each aimed at a different brain immune cell type. The goal is to translate this work into \"aging immunotherapies\": treatments that restore balance to the aging immune system, strengthen the brain's resilience, and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disease.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About the speaker</strong><br>\r\nPaloma Navarro Negredo studied Natural Sciences with an emphasis in Pharmacology at St John's College, University of Cambridge, before earning her Master's and PhD in Clinical Biochemistry, also at Cambridge. In the laboratory of Prof. Margaret S. Robinson she studied how proteins are sorted and trafficked inside cells. She then moved to Stanford University for postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Prof. Anne Brunet, supported by a Human Frontier Science Program fellowship. At Stanford she investigated changes in the aging brain, with a particular focus on immune cells and strategies to target them using engineered proteins.<br>\r\nPaloma is now an Assistant Professor at the School of Life Sciences at EPFL, where she leads a research group investigating how the aging immune system contributes to the decline of brain function.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n============================================<br>\r\n<strong>Prof. Florian Schüder</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Programming DNA for Multiplexed Super-Resolution Microscopy</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Abstract</strong><br>\r\nFluorescence microscopy is one of the most widely used tools in biological research, allowing us to visualize the organization of cells and their molecular components. Over the past two decades, the development of super-resolution microscopy has revolutionized the field by making it possible to visualize structures far smaller than previously thought possible with light microscopy.<br>\r\nMy research combines these advanced imaging techniques with tools from DNA nanotechnology to further expand what we can see and measure inside cells. In this presentation, I will introduce recent developments in DNA-based super-resolution microscopy and show how these approaches can enable high-resolution imaging of many different molecular targets within the same sample, and discuss how these technologies can be used to address biological questions at the molecular scale.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About the speaker</strong><br>\r\nFlorian Schueder studied Physics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Wyss Institute at Harvard University from 2009 to 2015. He then pursued a Ph.D. in Biophysics at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry from 2015 to 2020. From 2021 to 2025, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cell Biology and the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis at Yale School of Medicine.
