Molecular Bioengineering: towards biology-inspired materials

Progress in the molecular life sciences together with new nano-tools and novel methodologies enable the development of advanced functional materials based on the molecular elements of living organisms or equivalent synthetic mimics. The resulting challenges link scientific progress to industrial innovation and require the joint effort of individuals from an array of disciplines, working together beyond traditional structures - this is what MBC stands for. The resulting challenges link scientific progress to industrial innovation and require a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach that goes beyond traditional structures: the credo of the MBC.
