BioNanoTools

Organism properties of interest are characterized and understood at the molecular level. Only then can they be applied and adapted to current and future technological needs. To achieve this, novel bionanotechnological methods are necessary that can characterize the molecular assembly of functionally relevant structures, and demonstrate their properties. The continued development of existing bionanotechnological methods is necessary to process the exisiting complex tasks seen in nature. These bionanotechnological instruments of the next and over next generation will not only serve to answer current and future questions, but also represent a huge market in themselves in the life sciences, medicine and biotechnology. Moreover, once the function of each molecular structure is fully understood, it can serve as a potential tool to produce and implement such structures in a controlled fashion. The tools of nature can then be made of use, and a continually expanding molecular toolbox is created that can be applied to the fields of biomimetic materials and molecular bioengineering around which the B CUBE is based.

Nature offers an enormous arsenal of functional systems and properties that could answer a wide range of unmet technological needs. The possibilities now exist to characterize these properties, adapt them to specific needs and so design the materials and technologies of the future. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to combine complementary disciplines such as biology, nanobiotechnology and engineering. We are addressing a new approach to Molecular Bioengineering by combining the three dimensions BioProspecting, BioNanoTools and Biomimetic Materials.
