Gregoire Courtine, PhD
Collaborator, EPFL
Professor Gregoire Courtine was trained in Physics and Neurosciences. His passion for translational neurosciences has fueled his research in the development of neurotechnologies to improve recovery from neurological disorders.
After obtaining the Chancellor Award during his post-doc at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), he established his own laboratory at the University of Zurich in 2008 before joining the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in 2012.
He is now Full Professor of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology in the Center for Neuroprosthetics at EPFL and in the department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) where he is director of the Defitech Center for Interventional Neurotherapies (NeuroRestore) together with Prof Jocelyne Bloch.
He is also Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of ONWARD, a start-up he founded in 2014 to translate the neurotechnologies developed in his laboratory into clinical treatments.
