- Description/content
- The Graduate School Life Science Engineering provides an exceptional interdisciplinary educational programme for highly qualified international scientists and students.
Our programme is specifically tailored to the needs of our members and provides a comprehensive education that extends beyond the latest developments in life science engineering.
In addition to staying current with the latest advancements in the field, our programme also emphasises the development of essential skills such as leadership, project management, communication, and other valuable skills.
Research questions and applications range from
• Equipping cells with new functionality through synthetic biology
• Targeted modulation of cells and organisms using engineered biomolecules and chemical compounds
• Constructing bottom-up life-like systems as intelligent biomaterials and biosensors
• Assembling cells into multicellular structures and tissues (e.g. 3D printing of cells)
• Interfacing biomolecular systems with solid-state technology
• Mathematical and computational methods to design and analyse biological systems
• Engineering biology to address current challenges in sustainability
• Creating new technology for the interrogation of cells, biomolecules and tissues
The Graduate School Life Science Engineering strives to foster a supportive and inclusive community that values diversity, collaboration, and innovation. We believe that the unique perspectives and experiences of our members enrich our programme and contribute to the advancement of our field.
