This year’s ‘Engineering Life’ takes place September 11-13th 2019 in Dresden, Germany. Organised by the B CUBE Center for Molecular Bioengineering of the Technische Universität Dresden, the conference takes place at the Steigenberger Hotel in the historic city center.
The conference will explore the origins of cellular life, how life can be assembled from the bottom up and top down, and finally how these principles are put into practice in cell biology and translated into clinical treatments for disease.
