Zurich Hub for Drug and Device Development (ZH3D)
We translate research excellence into impact.
As a center of excellence, we enable researchers in Zurich to translate biomedical research findings into clinical applications more quickly, effectively, and with quality assurance, with the aim of improving the health of humans and animals.
We promote biomedical innovation by providing a state-of-the-art, quality-controlled, and regulated research and development environ ment. As an interdisciplinary platform based in Zurich, we operate at the intersection of research, medicine, and industry. We bridge the gap between research and clinical application by translating excellent sci ence into practice in accordance with regulatory requirements and by fostering the sustainable transfer of knowledge.

Excellence
Mediocrity? Not our style. We focus on top-tier research, the highest standards, and results that truly matter. Quality is our trademark – in every step, every project, every outcome.
Courage to innovate
We dare to try new things, even when the path is unclear. Boundaries exist only to be pushed. True innovation happens where others stop thinking.
Teamwork at eye level
Science, medicine, industry – we are bridge builders. Together with our partners, we create synergies that are greater than the sum of their parts. There‘s no room for ego here; collaboration is our secret to success.
Impact is our goal
Research for the sake of research? Not for us. We aim for results that matter – for patients, for society, and for the future. Everything we do is designed to make a real difference.
Agile and solution-oriented
Challenges? We love them. We think fast, act flexibly, and always focus on the best solution. Standing still is not an option for us.
Responsibility with heart and mind
Our innovations are not only designed to work but to be ethical and sustainable. We act with integrity and always put people at the center of our thinking.
Passion for the unknown
We are driven by what we do – and by what has yet to be discovered. Our curiosity pushes us to go further, improve constantly, and challenge the status quo.
