Every year the Innovation Pool manages to support 15 trailblazing projects. But the potential for innovation at USZ is even greater. If more financial resources were available, more researchers could make their vision a reality.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the USZ Foundation\u2019s donors, Andreas G\u00fcntner can do precisely that: make his ideas happen. He\u2019s developing sensors to monitor exhaled breath so that metabolic diseases can be detected at an early stage. He laid the basis as a mechanical engineer at ETH Zurich. To make his innovation available to patients as quickly as possible, he\u2019s now doing research at USZ. His project has enormous potential: In the future the idea is to be able to also diagnose other diseases via the breath.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s extraordinary projects like this that thanks to your support will benefit us all tomorrow. Together with supporting partners, the USZ Foundation intends to make twice as many innovations possible. The goal is to give 15 additional researchers, every year, the freedom to get their bold ideas off the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--link_color: #333333;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:0px;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:998.4px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5 fusion-text-no-margin\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:2vh;--awb-margin-bottom:2vh;\"><div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;\"><span style=\"flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background-color: #dd4118; margin-right: 10px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #dd4118; font-size: 18px;\">Contact<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background-color: #dd4118; margin-left: 10px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element sm-text-align-center awb-imageframe-style awb-imageframe-style-below awb-imageframe-style-2\" style=\"--awb-caption-margin-top:2vh;--awb-max-width:200px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:&quot;Poppins&quot;;--awb-caption-title-font-weight:500;--awb-caption-title-font-style:normal;--awb-caption-title-size:var(--body_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--body_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--body_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--body_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Portr\u00e4t Sandra Hagmann\" title=\"2024_Hagmann-Sandra_rund\" src=\"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024_Hagmann-Sandra_rund.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-81\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024_Hagmann-Sandra_rund-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024_Hagmann-Sandra_rund.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-container sm-text-align-center\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-title\">Sandra Hagmann<\/div><p class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-text\">Philanthropy | Foundations<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6 sm-text-align-center\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#333333;\"><p>+41 43 254 55 00<br \/><a href=\"mailto:sandra.hagmann@usz-foundation.com\">sandra.hagmann@usz-foundation.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":339,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-343","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1149,"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/343\/revisions\/1149"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usz-foundation.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
