Reason with ScienceSynthetic cells and DNA origami | Kerstin Göpfrich | Reason with Science | Engineering | BiologyThis episode is with Kerstin Göpfrich. She is a leading researcher in the field of synthetic biology with experties in biophysics, DNA nanotechnology. and microfluidics. She leads the max plank research group of biophysical engineering at the max plank Institute for medical research in Heidleberg. Her research centers on utilizing DNA origami, a versatile technique that employs DNA molecules to construct three-dimensional components for synthetic cells. In this conversation we talk about can we create life in the lab, synthetic cells, advantages of using DNA origami in creating synthetic cells, applications, and the future of artificial cells.

People doing PhysicsThe many paths from physicsThis episode is also available in video format on our YouTube channel - check it out! Today’s format is a little different to our usual episodes, as we’ve invited four Cavendish alumni for a panel discussion about all things physics and career development. They’ll tell us about what they learnt at the Cavendish, their natural sciences and physics background, as well as how their doctoral research in physics shaped their careers and brought them to where they are today. We’re joined by Aswathy Girija, commissioning editor at the Institute of Physi...2024-03-0755 min
The Escaped Sapiens PodcastCreating Synthetic Life | Kerstin Goepfrich | Escaped Sapiens #61In this conversation I speak with Professor Kerstin Göpfrich, who works at Heidelberg University at the Center for Molecular Biology (ZMBH), and who is also leading the Max Planck Research Group for the Biophysical Engineering of Life. Kerstin is attempting to construct living cells from scratch, piece by piece from non-living materials. So far she has created cell membranes, cytoskeletons, linkers for connecting cytoskeletons to the cell membrane, a mechanism for cell division, microscopic channels for ion transport in and out of cell membranes, an artificial 'mitochondria' analog, and more. The goal is eventually to put together all o...2023-12-122h 02
The Living RevolutionArtificial Life | The Living Revolution with Dr. Kerstin GöpfrichDr. Kerstin Göpfrich talks with us about her research into creating synthetic cells. We discuss DNA origami, where the line is drawn between synthetic and engineered cells, the ethics of producing synthetic cells and challenges faced by the field. 2022-03-0229 min![SPOTL]i[GHT - Nanion Technologies](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded/7894193/7894193-1596714545876-7b982e7028c6c.jpg)

ModellansatzRing-a-ScientistGudrun traf sich im August 2019 in Karlsruhe zum Gespräch mit Kerstin Göpfrich. Die beiden hatten sich im April 2019 persönlich beim Nawik Symposium 'Und jetzt Du' kennengelernt, wo Kerstin ihr Projekt Ring-a-Scientist vorgestellt hat. Dieses Projekt hat sie gemeinsam mit Karl Gödel initiiert und umgesetzt. Ring-a-Scientist wurde initial durch Wikimedia, die VolkswagenStiftung und den Stifterverband im Fellowverband Freies Wissen gefördert. Ring-a-Scientist ist ein moderner Weg, wie Wissenschaft in die Schulen kommen kann – per Videokonferenz und Live-Schalte aus dem Labor. Ring-a-Scientist möchte Wissenschaft ins Klassenzimmer bringen. Dies geschieht ohne Reisen und viel Organisationsaufwand einfach...2019-09-1237 min
Open Science RadioOSR096 Fellow Programm Projekte: Ring-a-Scientist, Organizing Openness #WMDE [DE]Im Rahmen unserer kleinen Reihe zum Fellow Programm Freies Wissen, dem Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Wikimedia Deutschland, Stifterverband, VolkswagenStiftung (und weiteren Unterstützern), widmen wir uns sozusagen der Innensicht des Programms. Dazu haben wir zwei Fellows und eine Mentorin eingeladen von ihren Projekten, aber auch ihren Erfahrungen zu berichten. Zu Gast sind Kerstin Göpfrich mit ihrem Outreach-Projekt Ring-a-Scientist, Maximilian Heimstädt mit seinem OER-Projekt Organizing Openness und Claudia Müller-Birn, die bereits zum zweiten Mal Mentorin im Fellow Programm ist.
