Brasier et al: Applied body-fluid analysis by wearable devices, Nature, December 4, 2024.

A paper co-authored by former early-career fellow Noé Brasier was published in the latest issue of Nature. His fellowship at the Collegium was not only formative for the paper’s content but also its transdisciplinary approach.

During his fellowship at the Collegium Helveticum, Noé Brasier focused on laying the groundwork for a measurement platform to enable therapeutic monitoring of antibiotics in biofluids such as sweat or breath. A key outcome of this effort was this publication in Nature, which Brasier describes as the most significant result of his fellowship: “The current publication contains a comprehensive overview of the available technologies, what is needed to translate this technology into clinical application, and how it can be used clinically. I worked intensively on it during my fellowship.”

The publication represents a collaboration by authors from a wide range of disciplines, including biomedical engineering, regulatory science, patient and public involvement, data science, social science, ethics, and clinical practice. Brasier credits the Collegium Helveticum’s collaborative and crossdisciplinary ethos for fostering this approach. “The exposure to the interdisciplinary environment at the Collegium has helped me build a better understanding of the different disciplines in order to integrate them holistically into an overarching concept,” he noted. By bridging these diverse fields, the project exemplifies how collaborative research can address complex challenges in healthcare and bring innovative solutions closer to clinical application.
