Natural & artificial biosystems

The research on "Natural & Artificial Biosystems" integrates biological principles to harness nature's functionalities for the generation of artificial biosystems, which in turn can improve our understanding of biological systems. Advances in analytical methods for high-quality data acquisition together with data-driven simulations enhance our knowledge of biological principles, which is employed to build systems, mimicking biological behaviors such as self-assembly and compartmentalization. This interdisciplinary combination of biology, materials science, and data science is crucial for an improved understanding of biological systems, developing synthetic data storage and information processing, improving biocatalytic systems, building medical devices and enhancing tissue engineering.
