I'm super-excited to come back to Basel.

I've been in the States now for 25 years,

but everything I learned about life, about science, I learned here.

I was a student here in Oberwil, I was a student in Birsfelden.

I was a student at the Biozentrum and so, everything I learned about science, I learned in Basel.

So I'm excited to come back and give back to Basel,

help build something new and really help create the place where

people want to be to do biology and biomedical research.

I'm a developmental biologist and a neurobiologist.

My lab tries to understand: How do cells become different?

You have cells in the embryo: How do they become a heart?

How do they become a kidney?

How do they become a liver?

How do they become a neuron, a nerve cell in the brain?

The other part of my lab tries to understand:

How is sleep regulated? How does the brain regulate sleep?

How do genes regulate sleep?

Basel has a fantastic ecosystem for the biology

and for the medical sciences.

We have everything from foundational basic research in the Biozentrum

all the way to developing drugs in companies in biotech and pharma.

It's one of the very few places in the world where you can go all the way

from really basic biology to applying it to cure humans.

So it's a fantastic ecosystem.

The opening of the new building, the new Biozentrum building,

is a fantastic opportunity to write the next chapter of life sciences in Basel.

There are really three major aspects that we want to focus on:

One is to get the very best scientists and the very best students coming to Basel

and to the Biozentrum because good science comes from good people.

The second goal for the future is to strengthen the bridges between the Biozentrum

and the surrounding institutes and departments and industry

because that back and forth between the different places can really create new

opportunities in the life sciences.

And then the third goal is to strengthen the culture of collaboration,

to strengthen the culture of risk-taking –

to really have the courage to attack very, very difficult and very, very important problems;

to really have kind of a long-term thinking about biological questions

and to take the risk – sometimes we might fail in answering the questions –

but we should try to answer the most difficult questions in biology.

The role of the hospital is very important because they give the relevance to biology

which is ultimately to try to understand humans and also cure a human disease.

This combination of basic discovery driven research at the Biozentrum

in collaboration with hospitals can really have an impact on human health.

My name's Jack I'm Digital Business Development

Executive at my mom's family business. The training course I did was the HTML

and CSS course. What I liked most about the course was being able to have

something to show for it. At the end of the course we had a website

that we developed throughout the two days and we were able to be proud of it

and actually have something in front of us that we can show. I've been on a few

other courses and you're taken away with nothing to actually show for what you've

done over the last few days so it's great to be able to have a finished

product and be proud of it. A key takeaway today was there's a lot more

learning to do, I'll look into some more courses or if there's an advanced course

what I've been doing it's a very difficult subject so when I'm going into

development with my with the mum shop and the family business I'll be a bit

more careful with how I approach the development side of things and be a bit

more wary of their timeline rather than trying to force things through and get

things done. This is my third time at the shard and

all doing Jellyfish Digital Marketing courses. I did the Google Analytics and

the SEO course, really great training rooms, everyone in those eager to learn

the teachers and the coaches are amazing. They really help you out take time to see how

it affects your business and you individually rather than just teaching

the course. They actually focus on your specific needs and requirements which is

great. I think on the Google Analytics one actually went into our website and

looked into the Google Analytics for that site which was great and I know

when we started to look into our own websites in the HTML course and started

looking at the code to see how we can work with developers and see what

they're doing. I definitely recommend Jellyfish training to others, I think I

even recommended it to a friend who came with me on the SEO course so I would

definitely recommend it as many people as possible.
