Jocelyne and G. are both professor within the NeuroX institute of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), within the neurosurgery department of CHUV, and at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lausanne (UNIL). Jocelyne and G. cofounded and co-lead .NeuroRestore, a research center that develops and applies bioengineering strategies involving neurosurgical interventions to restore neurological functions. In 2014, Jocelyne and G. also co-founded ONWARD Medical with the aim to translate the therapies developed at .NeuroRestore into clinical treatments (Euronext: ONWD). Jocelyne and G. are known for the conception of implants that restored walking in people with paralysis. The results of their research have been published in numerous original articles by Science and Nature, and broadly publicised in print and broadcast media across the world.
