Biology is a master at building materials by interfacing living functionalities with macromolecular scaffolds. Inspired by this, the emerging field of living materials seeks to develop new types of matter that incorporate engineered biological functions. This emerging area brings together scientists and engineers from various disciplines, including chemistry, polymer science, materials science, synthetic biology, and systems biology. To effectively integrate biological functions into materials, it is crucial to establish design principles for information transfer and processing between biological systems and materials. This Telluride workshop will bring pioneers in this area of research.
We wish to ensure an intimate workshop setting, with no more than 20 to 25 participants. If you are interested in attending, but have not received an invitation, please contact the workshop organizer before registering.
Telluride Science is about expanding the frontiers of science, exploring new ideas, and building collaborations. The workshop schedule will allow for substantial unstructured time for participants to talk and think. All participants are expected to stay for the entire duration of the workshop. Scientists are encouraged to consider bringing family or friends. Telluride offers a number of options for children's camps (including Telluride Academy, Aha School for the Arts, and Pinhead Institute). There is more information on childcare, camps, and family activities on Telluride Science's website. Feel free to contact Telluride Science's staff to help with any planning and/or coordinating care.
