Session 2: Becoming alive!, Date: 07.05.20, Guest: Dr. Kerstin Göpfrich
Kerstin Göpfrich works on Biophysics and Synthetic Biology at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg where she is combining DNA Nanotechnology and microfluidics to assemble synthetic cells. She is fascinated by the thought of creating an entire living cell from scratch. In Session 2 folded DNA, human cells and individual ways of communicating complex scientific discoveries became an inspiration source for the group. The question is how artificially constructed material could become alive, how it could look like and what it could do was raised. It was speculated what could or should be done in a methodological manner.
Come and explore the thoughts, ideas and transfer projects of Session 2!
