Engineering Approaches to Biomolecular Motors: From in vitro to in vivo

Over the past several decades, scientists and engineers in fields ranging from nanotechnology to cell biology have contributed to our understanding of the basic physical principles and biological functions of energy-consuming macromolecular machines. Researchers from diverse disciplines who are developing novel ways of measuring and controlling biomolecular motors inside and outside of cells, synthesizing artificial molecular motors inspired by biology, harnessing motors for applications in devices, or developing theories that cut across biological and synthetic systems came together for this meeting to promote promising directions and techniques while catalyzing frontier research on exploiting biological building blocks for novel function in biology and beyond.
