Simone Schuerle named “30 people who
make Germany & the world a better place
Many people can build robots, but hardly anyone builds them as small as Simone Schürle-Finke, 37, from Ulm. At the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, the professor is developing microscopically small automatons that are inserted into the body and transport drugs. Schürle-Finke’s robots are covered with a metallic layer and are guided by magnets to the source of the disease. In this way, tumors, for example, can be targeted.
