Engineering Life
This research theme brings together researchers who devise and implement technologies for investigating and controlling living systems.
Our focus is the engineering of molecular machines, cells and organisms to deconstruct their complexity and control their functions and properties.
We aim to develop new tools and design innovative biological systems that will improve human health and environmental sustainability.
