Research & Innovation
Leveraging our strong research heritage at ETH, we have developed a rapid detection system for species detection in various environments – from the Tropics to the Arctic.
Through continuous innovation we are committed to making species detections through eDNA accessible across the globe.

Our Story
Milestones
2026 - Expanded support
The project team acquires additional funding through the ETH World Food System Center to develop a prototype of the in field testing kits for agricultural pests. The team also acquires funding for expanding the testing setup to water quality analyses through the ETH4D funding scheme.
2026 - Completion of BRIDGE Discovery funding
Successful completion of the BRIDGE Discovery grant is achieved with >150 species tests developed from endangered amphibians, to Arctic wildlife or invasive mussel species.
2025 - Invasive mussel detection
Leveraging the knowledge acquired from various testing setups, the team successfully deploys the rapid testing method to detect invasive freshwater mussels in Switzerland.
2025 - Successful project completion
The initial project working on the invasive japanese beetle and other agricultural pests is successfully completed with two large field campaigns und countless hours of lab work for demonstrating a proof-of-concept.
2024 - Testing for invasive species starts
First field trials commence for invasive agricultural pests in Switzerland.
2023 - Expanded support
The project receives additional funding through the ETH World Food System Center to expand the technology to invasive quarantine organisms in Europe.
2023 - First successful field season
First tests in the field show successful results to detect rare and endangered amphibian species. The team expands the methodology to larger areas and other target species.
2022 - Project initiation
The founder team starts the project to develop a rapid testing system for species detection in the environment.
2022 - Support received
The project gets funded with a BRIDGE Discovery grant, funded by Innosuisse and the SNF.
