Research team led by Li Tang wins Leenaards Foundation Science Prize

EPFL community

Two research groups in the Lake Geneva region have been selected for the 2025 Leenaards Science Prize, which comes with a total of CHF 1.4 million in award money. One of the research groups, led by Li Tang of the Laboratory of Biomaterials for Immunoengineering in EPFL's School of Engineering, is exploring a new approach to overcoming cancer-cell resistance to immunotherapy.

Scientists discover mechanism driving molecular network formation

Research

EPFL scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally self-organize into crystalline supramolecular networks. This significant discovery could change the design of synthetic molecules for network growth at the nanoscale.
