The Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the Netherlands' Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/E) recently signed a letter of intent agreeing to establish a framework for future strategic collaboration. This framework will establish cooperation between the Department and the university to enhance their respective capacities to better harness science, technology and innovation (STI) as instruments to drive both economic and societal development.

Our focus on organic materials for self-learning biomedical applications is pretty unique

Storing data in DNA sounds like science fiction, yet it lies in the near future. Professor Tom de Greef expects the first DNA data center to be up and running within five to ten years.

Storing data in DNA sounds like science fiction, yet it lies in the near future. Professor Tom de Greef expects the first DNA data center to be up and running within five to ten years. Data won’t be stored as zeros and ones in a hard drive but in the base pairs that make up DNA: AT and CG. Such a data center would take the form of a lab, many times smaller than the ones today. De Greef can already picture it all. In one part of the building, new files will be encoded via DNA synthesis. Another part will contain large fields of capsules, each capsule packed with a file. A robotic arm will rem...

In early May 2022, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in the United States of America University granted professor Bert Meijer international membership of the academy. Membership for non-US citizens is extraordinary. Currently, there are only 13 other living Dutch members. Meijer is the very first TU/e professor to become a member of the NAS.
