Ata Golparvar Receives SNSF Postdoctoral Fellowship
- Monday, 30 June 2025
Ata Golparvar, postdoctoral researcher at ECTM under supervisin of Dr. Clémentine Boutry, has been awarded the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)'s Postdoctoral Fellowship to extend his residence at ECTM and develop Transient Biophotonic Implants. The three-year fellowship includes the possibility of a one-year return phase to EPFL/ETH.
With this funding, Ata will explore new approaches to help shift healthcare from reactive treatment toward proactive, pre-symptomatic diagnosis. Realizing this goal requires continuous access to molecular information within the body. To address this need, Ata is developing a new class of transient molecular implants capable of wireless, passive, and label-free biosensing. These implants are designed to safely biodegrade after use, eliminating the need for surgical removal to enable “insert & forget” approach to biosensing, particularly beneficial in post-operative care.
