Descripción de la actividad

Life is built on the dynamic organization of interacting molecular networks. In recent years, biomolecular condensates—membrane‑less compartments formed by phase separation—have transformed our understanding of how cells create order, regulate complexity, and adapt to change. These self‑organizing structures challenge classical views of cellular architecture and offer a new physical and conceptual framework for biology.

This year’s Summer School explores biomolecular condensates as a bridge between natural cellular organization and the design of synthetic and minimal cells. From the physics of phase separation to the engineering of programmable cellular compartments, the school will highlight how emergent organization can be understood, controlled, and ultimately built. Bringing together ideas from biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering, the XII Summer School invites graduate students and junior fellows with these multidisciplinary backgrounds to engage with one of the most transformative concepts shaping the future of synthetic biology and cell engineering.
