Foreign body

  • Mini brains, nanotechnology and organ chips
  • Geist Heidelberg, In dialogue

The boundaries of the human body are shifting: micro- and nanobots enable direct, invasive treatment of diseased cells. Mini-brains, organoids and organ chips open up organs and their functions for medical tests and experiments.
Are we making foreign bodies our own or alienating the human body?

Prof. Dr. Ute Schepers, Institute for Functional Interfaces, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Prof. Dr. Oliver G. Schmidt, Professorship for Material Systems of Nanoelectronics , TU Chemnitz
