Synthetic Molecular Communications Across Different Scales: From Theory to Experiments
Synthetic Molecular Communications Across Different Scales: From Theory to Experiments (SyMoCADS)
Research Training Group (RTG) 2950 SyMoCADS is a research training program funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with the aim to educate scientists and engineers in this emerging interdisciplinary field of research. The RTG comprises of ten principal advisors (PAs) from the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science, the Medical Faculty, and the University Hospital. Research takes place in an excellent scientific environment at FAU, with top-notch instrumentation in the laboratories of the participating principal advisors (PAs).
The research program, consisting of 9 doctoral research projects (P1-P9) organized in 3 clusters (C1-C3) and a cross-cluster postdoctoral project (P10), and the structured qualification program aim to equip the participating researchers with the knowledge and skill set needed to significantly advance the field of molecular communication (MC) and to bring it to the realm of practical applications.
From April 9–11, 2025, several researchers of the SyMoCADS team had the pleasure of attending the 9th Workshop on Molecular Communications, held at the University of Catania, Italy. The MolCom workshop serves as platform for interdisciplinary exchange in the field of molecular communications.
