Biomimetic Symposium (22nd June 2022)
Institute for Chemical Biology and Network for Sensor Technologies
13:00-18:30 @ B.10, Molecular Science Research Hub (MSRH), White City Campus
Biomimetics is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, chemistry, biology and physics to generate new materials, synthetic systems or devices with functions that mimic biological processes.
