DESCRIPTION:How and why do we design and build artificial stru
 ctures and even machines at the nanoscale using DN
 A\, proteins\, and other biological molecules or c
 onstruct hybrid bio-inorganic robots using the bui
 lding principles of biology? Prof Contera will exp
 lore how nanotechnology is revolutionising medicin
 e in ways that will have profound effects on our h
 ealth. From nanostructures  inspired by biology th
 at can train the immune system to fight cancer or 
 a viral infection\, to nanoantibiotics that can el
 iminate resistant bacteria\,  to the engineering o
 f tissues and organs for research\, drug discovery
 \, and transplantation. More profoundly\, nanotech
  facilitates the study of biology within the frame
 work of physics\, thereby creating interfaces with
  other fields (e.g. bioinspired quantum devices an
 d computer science). This will potentially change 
 not only the future of materials\, engineering and
  AI\, but also the way we think about life itself\
 , and give us confidence to  pose questions such a
 s “what is intuition?” from a physics lab.
