Arunima Sengupta,
Postdoc, Organs-on-Chip Technologies

In my early-20’s I found my calling to be a scientist. I chased my passion over continents to develop innovative human disease models for drug screening research, with the aim to replace animal experimentations. I am grateful to all empowering women who made it possible for my generation to work in science.

Aileen Naef, 
PhD Gerontechnology and Rehabilitation

To me, being a woman in science can mean many things: making your way in a male-dominated field, supporting female-led initiatives or figuring out your work-life balance. There is no right way, so follow the path you choose unapologetically.

A bit rebellious, a bit daring, meticulous explorers, and even so - caring. – This is how I see women in science. I liked math in school and fell in love with Biomedical Engineering during my engineering and computer science bachelor’s.
