New Institute of Chemistry and Biotechnology ICB at ZHW

FH - HES

Abstract

The recently founded Institute of Chemistry and Biotechnology ICB of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Winterthur, (ZHW) is the common platform for all R&D as well as service activities of the Abteilung für Chemie und Biologische Chemie CBC. The geographical market of the ICB comprises primarily the Greater Zurich Area, eastern and central Switzerland. The customers are the small- and medium-sized enterprises of the region as well as larger corporations in Switzerland. The ICB benefits from its two pillars, chemistry and biotechnology, and a sound networking of the institute at ZHW and in Switzerland. The structure of the ICB is clearly centered around three focal points of competence, namely Specialty Chemistry, (Bio)Chemical Measurement and Sensor Technique, and Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.
