Green by Design: Understanding and Engineering of the Powerhouse of Photosynthesis – annual symposium of SYNMIKRO (formerly LOEWE-SYNMIKRO), May 6, 2026, Cineplex in Marburg
On May 6, 2026, the former LOEWE Center SYNMIKRO will once again host the SYNMIKRO Symposium at the Cineplex in Marburg. This time, under the title "Green by Design: Understanding and Technology of the Power Source of Photosynthesis," the focus will be on a deep understanding and the engineering of chloroplasts – the power source of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is one of nature's most fundamental and fascinating processes. The symposium will also address the latest discoveries regarding the function of chloroplasts, synthetic approaches to increasing photosynthetic efficiency, and innovative applications in sustainable biotechnology.
SYNMIKRO invites you to a day filled with inspiring lectures and scientific exchange, showcasing how photosynthesis can be harnessed for a greener future.
This year's event will also honor one of the founders of SYNMIKRO, Prof. Dr. Bruno Eckhardt, with the Bruno Eckhardt Lecture.
The event is organized by the LOEWE Research Cluster RobuCop and the Cluster of Excellence M4C, with support from the LOEWE Research Cluster Tree-M, Microbial Nucleotide Metabolism – MiNu, and hessen trade & invest gmbh.
Participation is free, but registration is required in order to plan the event at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1976691942812.
