The Future of Breath Analysis

Over the past six years, Zurich Exhalomics has been at the forefront of research, technology development and clinical studies related to volatile biomarkers.

With the first Forum in 2022, we started a series to share and discuss perspectives on the future of breath analysis. The 2023 Exhalomics Forum attracted over 80 visitors from academia, industry and funding organisations who discussed new developments in the field.

Please register for the upcoming Exhalomics Forum on September 27, 2024! The available place is limited.
