Overview

How can biology inform the next generation of design, materials, and manufacturing? Adaptive by Design: Biologically Informed Engineering explores how principles found in living systems — adaptability, resilience, efficiency, and self-organization — are shaping breakthroughs across engineering and the built environment.

This Leading Edge webinar will feature researchers working at the convergence of biology and technology, examining how biologically informed design is driving innovation in advanced materials, devices, and human-machine systems. Explore cutting-edge sensing systems that monitor and adapt to their environments in real time, mimicking the responsive intelligence of biological organisms to dynamic conditions.

Join us for a forward-looking conversation on how building with biology is redefining what and how we create.
