An article about the co-founder Fabienne Hartmann-Fritsch, Project Leader of the Wyss Zurich project denovoSkin and her motivation to help young patients with burn injuries. In her own words: "Helping the little patients with burn injuries motivated me to join the research team at the Children's Hospital Zurich eleven years ago". In 2020, denovoSkin grows personalised skin for patients with scars or burns, doing that from a piece of skin from the size of a stamp of the patient itself. The advantage of the technique used by denovoSkin is that the affected areas can heal without leaving behind severe scar tissue. Read the full article in Schweizer Illustrierte (in German).
