"Sound of Molecules – I. fiddle (with)"
Premiered during the opening session of ICMSE in Basel on 27 August 2017. This audio-visual production represents a milestone in the on-going unique cooperation between NCCR MSE and argovia philharmonic. For more than one year a group of NCCR MSE scientists (Viola Vogel and Ralf Stutzki) and Swiss artists (Christian Weidmann, Lukas Huber and Samuel Hertig) teamed up in order to create a most unusual communication tool meant to enrich the on-going societal debate about the ethical challenges of synthetic biology.
The premiere of Sound of Molecules – I. fiddle (with) was performed by the renowned argovia philharmonic. This 7 minute classical-modern composition both reflects on and challenges the first phase of NCCR MSE research while simultaneously interpreting photo graphic and video graphic sequences which originated in the labs of Molecular Systems Engineering.

Nano-Tera 2012 - LiveSense Cell-based Sensing Microsystem
This project addresses the need to improve the environmental monitoring of the many chemical and biological compounds that are affecting our biosphere and eventually human health. The idea is to use living cells as biosensors and to monitor them in a microfluidic bioreactor equipped with microsensors. Living cells are the most natural biosensors, since they integrate the biological effects of the compound mixtures and respond by metabolic or phenotypic changes that are relevant to potential effects in the human body. The projects aims at the realization of a complete autonomous microsystem that would include a cell culture microbioreactor, secondary sensors to measure cell response and monitor the microbioreactor process, a signal processing control unit and a wireless communication unit to link the microsystem to a sensor network.
