According the hypotheses that plants can “communicate” among themselves, Olga Kisseleva is investigating the possibility of “eaves dropping” on this arboreal “dialogue,” and even taking part in it. This idea has given birth to the project in which trees can “communicate” on two levels: among themselves in the T2T (Tree…

Anthea Wirges is addressing the limitations of durable Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapies in hematological malignancies, which suffer from relapses and resistances despite impressive initial response rates. Her solution involves the creation of novel CAR T cells targeting a unique antigen and employing a distinct mode of action…

I plead for a design turn within the social sciences, in order to foster the renewal of empirical methods from an analytical towards a co-productive synthetic approach of knowledge production.

Bettina Müller and her team are tackling fibrotic skin diseases by proposing the use of a non-invasive objective mechanical device that allows for a comparison between diseased tissue and a healthy counter measurement with immediate information about the degree of difference.

Infira is incorporating technology into rice seeds. The growth strategy consists in developing prototypes of different crops by coordinating the strategies of R&D, IP, regulation and market.

The artwork combines mixed reality, 3D printing, sound, photography and film, to lead the audience through the journey of organotypic artificial skin cells, during their short, precious, three weeks long ‘in-vitro’ life. The piece follows the cells from operating theatre, where they are taken from donors via tummy tucks, breast…

Aerogels are a class of solid materials with outstanding properties, a consequence of their open porous 3D nanostructure. They demonstrate promising results for pollution filtering and lightweight vehicle insulation, as well as for advanced battery systems in sustainable mobility. With the support of simulation and digitization for reverse engineering, the…

We provide evidence that reducing the distribution of drugs (e.g diclofenac) with proven CV risk in the heart using nanoparticles will reduce their CV complications without compromising the efficacy.   Tags: Bio-Tech, Med-Tech, Health Sciences.
