Bettina Müller and her team are tackling fibrotic skin diseases by proposing the use of a non-invasive objective mechanical device that allows for a comparison between diseased tissue and a healthy counter measurement with immediate information about the degree of difference.

Treating Fibrotic Skin Diseases: Breaking the Wall of Skin Diagnostics
Dr. Bettina Müller joined ETH Zurich in 2016 as a doctoral student in experimental continuum mechanics. Her research focused on the development of non-invasive mechanical characterization techniques for human skin. This resulted in the development of the NIMBLE, a novel ultra-light suction device for improved objective skin characterization. In 2021, she received the Pioneer Fellowship from ETH supporting her entrepreneurial education. This funding allows her to translate her research into a spin-off company with the mission of improving skin diagnostics through mechanical engineering.
