The Laboratory for Artificial Biology was established by Martin Hanczyc in 2014 as part of the Centre for Integrative Biology (CIBIO) at the University of Trento. Our research seeks to integrate various functional aspects of artificial life, synthetic life, and natural life. We have expertise in interfacial dynamics, modeling of complex chemistry, optimization strategies, robot-chemistry interfaces, fundamentals of intelligent materials, synthetic biology, and new bio-inspired materials for architecture and engineering.
