Forschende der TU denken Fotosynthese neu
2022/11/23
Interdisziplinäres Projekt der Biologie sowie der Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik
Die Fotosynthese gilt als gut erforschter Prozess, ihre Funktionsweise ist durch über mehrere Jahrhunderte Forschung hinreichend durchleuchtet – so könnte man meinen. In einem interdisziplinären Projekt der Fachbereiche Biologie sowie Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik an der TU Darmstadt wird das seit Generationen bekannte Wissen um diesen Prozess mit aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Methoden revolutioniert. Damit eröffnen sich bisher ungeahnte Möglichkeiten für die landwirtschaftliche Nahrungsmittelproduktion.

The Venus flytrap – an inspiration for technology
2022/06/12
Advanced Science: researchers investigate movements when leaves reopen
The rapid speed at which the carnivorous Venus flytrap catches its prey is legendary. What is less well known is that Dionaea muscipula is also capable of a variety of other forms of movement. In a study, a team at the Universities of Darmstadt, Freiburg and Stuttgart studied the opening – i.e. the “re-setting” – of the traps. The results are also interesting for technical disciplines such as mechanical engineering or soft robotics, and have just been published in the renowned journal “Advanced Science”.

EU Research Council funds project by TU Professor Heinz Koeppl with 150,000 euros
TU Professor Heinz Koeppl (Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology) receives a “Proof of Concept” grant of 150,000 euros from the European Research Council (ERC) for the second time. The new grant will fund his project “PLATE – Biophysical Genetic Design Automation Technology”, which deals with algorithms for the computer-aided design of genetic circuits in synthetic biology.

Join the CompuGene Student Lab
2022/05/09
The “CompuGene Student Lab” is a new student project that is part of the Centre for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt. The students independently set up a research project related to synthetic biology. This includes the development of their own research idea, independent laboratory work and the acquisition of research funds. In the process, the students work together on the path from the initial idea to a publication. Results could be published or patented and presented in competitions or symposia.
