Engineering molecular systems is a relatively new field of research that has the potential to make groundbreaking innovations that can broadly benefit society. A special feature of this area of research is that interdisciplinarity is key, involving methodologies and expertise in synthetic biology and medicine, materials science, physics, chemistry, and new environmental technologies.
Combining living materials with synthetic molecular systems is one of the main keys to life-inspired molecular systems. The resulting hybrid systems will have new functionalities with a high transfer and translational potential. However, the engineering of mechanisms found in nature with synthetic components will lead to new molecular systems promising solutions for social challenges. The applications of such life-inspired hybrid or fully synthetic systems cover a broad range of applications such as cancer therapy, nanorobots, multi-organoid-systems or even “living” computers.
The Life-inspired Molecular Systems Conference at Heidelberg University will highlight recent advances in synthetic immunology, research on organoids, and molecular systems engineering, and encompasses invited talks, contributed talks, and posters.
