Summary of Introduction to Breakout Session
Interfacing the abiotic and biotic world: linking living and dead. Dr. Robert Eisenberg asked members of his group to contemplate several facets of this phenomenon: movement between both states; understanding and manipulation of the skin of living organisms; the development of biosensors; the delivery of drugs; and the connection of biology to silicon. Participants were encouraged to follow the engineering tradition of using as little detail as possible and as necessary to understand how something works.
