We’re excited to tell you that we’ve kicked off a new project this summer: FUTUREBODY: The Future of the Body in the Light of Neurotechnology. This is an EU ERANET NEURON project in collaboration with KIT-ITAS (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), University of Freiburg and University of Calgary. The 3 year long FUTUREBODY deals with emerging…

This is something new and different for us: We’ve published our first art-science booklet! It’s called “The Art of Antibiotics” and it documents the artist in residency program within the EC FP7 funded project SYNPEPTIDE, which aimed to design and test novel types of antimicrobial peptides. The residency program hosted Sarah Craske in Switzerland…
