Gaspard Pardon

Gaspard Pardon is a Lecturer at the School of Life Sciences (SV) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Head of the Bioengineering & Technology platform at the AGORA Translational Cancer Research Center. His roles focus on advancing bioengineering infrastructure and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations between EPFL, CHUV, HUG, UNIL, Ludwig Cancer Research Center, ISREC, and biotech/pharma industries.

• MSc in Microengineering, EPFL (2008)
• PhD in Electrical Engineering, KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2016)
• Postdoctoral Researcher, Stanford University (2016-2021)

His research specializes in:

• Development of micro- and nanofluidic devices for rapid diagnostics of infectious diseases and airborne pathogens
• Engineering in vitro cardiac models (organ-on-chip) using human induced pluripotent stem cells
• Studying genetic cardiomyopathies such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
• Technological translation of bioengineering innovations

The Bioengineering & Technology platform under his leadership supports infrastructure development, cross-institutional collaboration, and industry partnerships in translational cancer research. His academic and technological work bridges bioengineering, stem cell biology, and clinical diagnostics.
