Talking to microbes – innovative signal delivery systems
The focus of WP2 is on development of chemical micro-robots capable of emitting or scavenging specific molecular signals within biological systems, in order to induce reproducible changes in their microbiome composition and activity, and/or host responses. Additionally, possibilities will be sought to encapsulate living microbes for their targeted delivery in pre-defined spatial and temporal patterns. The overall goal is to improve our understanding of microbial “language” and use this knowledge for practical applications in research, biomedicine, agriculture, and/or food processing.
