Towards Improved Molecular Understanding of Artificial Plant Cells

The project is on the development of artificial plant cells. This encompasses on one hand the development of plant cell models themselves (from layer-by-layer fabrication to more complex synthesis protocols) as well as method development of neutron and x-ray scattering techniques for the characterization of the artificial plant cells. In the end, a combination of several techniques will enable the improvement of our understanding of the molecular interactions that take place in plant cells.
