Living organisms have developed by evolution a wide variety of apparatuses to perform sophisticated functions with optimized efficiency and selectivity. These include not only biochemical transformations, but also physical processes such as interaction with light (i.e. absorption, emission, refraction), ionic and electronic charge transport. The accomplishment of these functions is made possible by a multiplicity of diverse molecular and supramolecular structures which have been perfected along the evolution timescale.
Increasing interest has been raised over the last years by implementation of biological and bio-inspired materials in photonic and electronic devices, and also in bio-medical applications. Even more interestingly, ground-breaking results have been recently shown by the direct use of living organisms to produce the materials, or as scaffolds for direct in vivo devices assembling.
The symposium “Biological, biohybrid and bioinspired materials: from electronics and photonics to medicine” will cover many classes of biological and bioinspired materials for a number of applications. These include, but are not limited to, materials from photosynthetic organisms (e.g. pigments, reaction centers, plants), biological polymers (e.g. cellulose, silk, lignine, melanins, DNA), bio-inorganic materials (e.g. biosilica, calcite, magnetite). The symposium will mainly focus on the materials, but also the optoelectronic/photonic devices and biomedical applications will be covered, aiming to combine the fundamental understanding of the mechanisms underlying the biological materials’ properties with the applications.
This symposium will set up a forum of discussion enlarging the community of researchers traditionally involved in materials science by including the contribution of biologists and biotechnologists, thus eyeing up new directions and languages for advancing this revolutionary scientific and technological field.
