DESCRIPTION:Last year we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Periodic 
 table of elements\, and it is hard to believe that only that much time has
  passed between the systematic ordering of the chemical elements to the la
 rge scale production of polymers and nanocoatings\, and design of implanta
 ble biosensors and drug nanocarriers. \n\nModern molecular science is merg
 ing our knowledge of biochemistry\, molecular biology\,  physics and even 
 artificial intelligence to come up with materials suitable for application
  in medicine and beyond.  Particular advances have been made in the design
  of bio-nano hybrids that combine the biomolecules with man-made nanostruc
 tures with the help of chemical strategies that can overcome intrinsic dif
 ferences between individual elements. \n\nWe will have a look at the biome
 dical applications of molecular designs\, and the use of novel (nano)mater
 ials in biosensing\, tissue engineering\, chemical industry\,  but also ar
 chitecture and wearable technology.  \n\n A warning to all of you who are 
 not chemistry fans: there will be some molecular structures! But instead o
 f looking at detailed synthetic routes\, we will explore how these molecul
 ar structures are turned into materials and products that are changing our
  life.
