Keynote: Associate Professor Maartje Bastings, Programmable Biomaterials Lab, Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne, Switzerland

Focus: How we use DNA to design materials that send precise signals to cells. By controlling their structure and flexibility, we can shape how the body responds. This approach allows the creation of selective materials that can activate immune cells or detect viruses, paving the way for earlier diagnosis, smarter therapies, and personalised medicine.
