Philipp Egli was awarded 2nd place by Forschungspreis for his presentation, Einfluss des Geburtsablaufs sowie verschiedener Sauen- und Ferkelparameter auf die Gebärmutterrückbildung bei Sauen in freier Abferkelung, from the bpt Swine Section at the bpt Congress in Hanover
I am absolutely delighted to have been awarded the Young Scientist Award for both best presentation and best poster at this year's Annual Veterinary Public Health Conference, in Zürich. The presentation was on our ongoing project on Risk Mapping of West Nile Fever for Switzerland, and the poster on my PhD project on the Burden of Disease in Swiss Pork Production.
It was a great conference, with many interesting talks. A particular thanks to the Institute for Food Safety and Hygiene (ILS) at Vetsuisse Zürich for organising the event this year. A great way to finish this year!

Scientists create a world-first 3D cell model to help develop treatments for devastating lip injuries. In a new study published in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, scientists report the successful immortalization of donated lip cells, allowing for the development of clinically relevant lip models in the lab. This proof-of-concept, once expanded, could benefit thousands of patients.
“The lip is a very prominent feature of our face,” said Dr Martin Degen of the University of Bern. “Any defects in this tissue can be highly disfiguring. But until now, human lip cell models for developing treatments were lacking. With our strong collaboration with the University Clinic for Pediatric Surgery, Bern University Hospital, we were able to change that, using lip tissue that would have been discarded otherwise.”
