2023 Molecular Systems Design

Complex molecular machines system design could be sped up by integrating emerging approaches and advancements on the software and simulation-side. Some areas were highlighted by our 2022 workshop, some are entirely new.

This two-day event invites leading researchers, entrepreneurs, and funders to put the pieces together and drive progress towards the original vision of nanotechnology: creating reprogrammable tools that can create individually specified chemical bonds at scale. Explore new opportunities, form lasting collaborations, and join us in cooperating on shared long-term goals of the Molecular Machines space.

Format

An intro session on potential architectures for advanced molecular machine tools that could be created with current technology is followed by rapid keynotes discussing relevant approaches and design frameworks in-depth. Working groups will refine promising architectures, determine the work required to make progress on the needed systems, and what the first potential use-cases could be.
