2SCP Material-driven biomimetic systems for a new paradigm of synthetic biology

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM Room C (Conference Room 221 (Bldg. 2, 2F))

Organizers: Kishimura Akihiro (Kyushu Univ.)、Kinbara Kazushi (Tokyo Tech.)

Synthetic biology has recently made remarkable progress and is expected to be a discipline that will innovate medicine, agriculture, and industries. From the viewpoint of material sciences, however, the current synthetic biology seems to target systems that can work only under limited conditions within a very limited material framework allowed on our planet. In this symposium, we aim to discuss the synthesis of living creatures and the creation of new systems beyond the framework of existing organisms on Earth. We invite up-and-coming material scientists as speakers to build a new paradigm of synthetic biology and bring a new perspective to biophysics. We are convinced that this symposium will help to enable the evolution of living creatures beyond the framework of conventional biology and for the creation of life as yet unseen.
