The FHNW School of Life Sciences – a cornerstone of the Basel Life Sciences Cluster
The Basel and North-West Switzerland Life Sciences cluster is one of the world’s leading innovation regions, where technological progress, digital transformation and industrial application come together.
With state-of-the-art infrastructure, interdisciplinary expertise and strength in research, the School actively drives developments in fields such as personalised medicine, data analysis, networked diagnostics and digital production.
As a bridge between science and industry, we not only contribute to change but actively drive it – in higher education, continuing professional development and application-oriented research. Entrepreneurial thinking, technological excellence and close links with industry make the FHNW School of Life Sciences a dynamic force in this fast-changing environment.

We carry out the majority of our research projects in collaboration with partner firms. Around two-thirds of projects are funded through innovation promotion funds or directly by industry partners, while a third are financed by national and international research programmes. The FHNW School of Life Sciences is a research leader among Swiss universities, both in quality and quantity.
