Chemistry and artificial life forms

Workshop at ALIFE 2019 Newcastle (UK)

29 Jul 2019

The workshop “CHEMALIFORMS: Chemistry and artificial life forms” is organized as a joint event with ALIFE Conference 2019 to be held in Newcastle (UK) July 29 – August 2, 2019. The workshop will focus on life-like forms created in laboratory using chemical and biochemical materials.

Topics:

  • Wet artificial life

  • Synthetic biology

  • Origin of life

  • Protocells

  • Droplets

  • Chemobrionics

  • Messy chemistry

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in wet artificial life, namely chemists, physicists, biologists. Further, it is expected that computer scientists performing mathematical simulations of life-like phenomena in chemical systems and experts from robotic field that build the platforms for laboratory experiments automatization will participate as well.

NOTE: Workshop participants should register at the entire ALIFE 2019 conference. There is no separate registration fee.
