    In our @wemakeit crowdfunding campaign we are trying to raise enough money to buy a Nanoduct® device that will improve the diagnosis of #cysticfibrosis in Africa. @AxonlabAG would you contribute in this #RareDiseaseDay2023? @SwissIonChannel @UDNIss wemakeit.com/projects/cystic-f

  2. It feels strange! Most of my old #IonChannels colleagues are at #BPS2023! I fly now to #CapeTown for the amazing @ICHG2023 to meet #channelopathies friends from #ScienceInAfrica and the rest of the world!

  3. We launched today our crowdfunding project "Cystic Fibrosis in Africa." Your generosity can help Nada and Michèle with their research on #CF in African countries (@snsf_ch will also co-finance it) #RareDisease #ScienceInAfrica #Channelopathies

  4. First year PhD student Nada Elmakhzen presented in Rabat her data on sequencing the complete #CFTR gene using #Nanopore technologies. Many geneticists were impressed! #AfSHG2022 #GenomicsInAfrica #ScienceInAfrica #RareDiseases

  5. One more test with #Galactica @paperswithcode: Generate a #ReviewArticle on "Literature review on the challenges of cystic fibrosis on the African continent" - Last sentence of the #AI generated abstract: "The challenges of #CysticFibrosis (CF) on the African Continent are enormous and need to be addressed urgently."

    My academic life is split in:

    1) Vice-Rector for Research @unibern since 1.1.22. Working on making UniBe a place where everyone can spend time asking big and small questions about the world. #BetterScience

    2) PI at the Inst. of Biochemistry & Molecular Medicine. Our group is fascinated by #IonChannels & #Channelopathies.

    3) Being a voice for the many scientists from less privileged parts of the world, particularly the ones from the African continent. #ScienceInAfrica
