An Inspiring 11th Lecture & Luncheon - Women in Science Switzerland
On November 6th, we had the privilege of hosting an extraordinary event featuring Professor Jocelyne Bloch, a renowned neuroscientist and neurosurgeon at CHUV, UNIL, EPFL, and Director of .NeuroRestore, and the co-founder of ONWARD.
Professor Bloch's passionate and brilliant lecture took us on a journey through her groundbreaking work in functional neurosurgery, and deep brain stimulation for movement disorder and pain. Her dedication to developing innovative implants that restore mobility to people with paralysis is nothing short of inspiring. The hope instilled in countless lives is immeasurable.
