Emmanuel Delamarche PhD

Dr. Emmanuel Delamarche was the leading activities on Precision Diagnostics at IBM Research - Zurich with the goal of developing expertise in microtechnology, surface chemistry, and biochemistry for solving important problems in biology and medicine. He is a Senior Manager at Spiden in Switzerland.

His current projects deal with investigating intercellular pathways relevant to neurodegenerative diseases, developing new techniques for tissue section analysis, and microfluidics for point-of-care testing diagnostics. This involves the fast and sensitive detection of multiple markers for various diseases, the advanced staining of tissue sections for pathology, and cell-to-cell interactions within the context of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. His expertise covers self-assembly, soft lithography, miniaturized biological assays based on microfluidics, and nanotechnology in general.

Dr. Delamarche sometimes acts as a research expert for IBM-internal task forces, and consulting engagements, and frequently as an expert for major governmental research programs. He is also a Lecturer at ETH Zurich in the Department of Health Science and Technologies.
