GENESIS 26
The LIFE SCIENCE TECH DAY
Engineering Next-Generation Platforms for Disease Modeling and Drug Screening
In Heidelberg's innovation corridor: where forward-looking industry meets cutting-edge science — and top universities meet applicable high-tech. The Genesis 26 event creates growth and success through collaboration.
How can disease processes be simulated more realistically and active ingredients tested more quickly, safely, and reproducibly? This question will be the focus of the next LIFE SCIENCE TECH DAY 2026, which will be hosted by our InnovationLab in Heidelberg on Thursday, March 12, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

About the event
What to expect
Be part of our Genesis 26 event — our version of a Falling Walls–style science summit — this time in one of Heidelberg’s cultural venues. We bring together breakthrough technology leaders with translational science, and public-sector visionaries to generate new pathways and disruptive ideas through exchange and collaboration among leaders. Immerse yourselves in inspiring sessions chaired by academic domain experts.
International cutting-edge tech companies and startups will share their innovations and competencies as the lifeblood of the sessions. At the heart of the event, an outstanding group project from Heidelberg University will share insights on reproducible tissue culture, robotics, and scaling assays in a lightning talk. 

Altes Hallenbad Heidelberg is a cultural and historical venue in the centre of Heidelberg, a short walk from the Altstadt and public transport - combining heritage with a focused setting for meaningful exchange.
On the topic
Integrated, human-based 3D systems
The event will focus on technologies for integrated, human-based 3D systems – from organoids to organ-on-a-chip. The focus will be on essential building blocks in the areas of the brain, heart, and intestines, disease models, cancer research, and drug screening (screening of active substances). The speakers will set the specific technological priorities and present current methods and developments to the workshop participants. They provide deep insights into the precision microfabrication of complex tissue and barrier models, the further development of bioinks and biofabricated constructs, and the latest microfluidic platforms – with valves, perfusion, and controlled microenvironments. This is complemented by smart materials for membranes, scaffolds, and soft actuation, highly automated systems for sampling and high-throughput applications, and embedded sensor technology and micro- and nanoelectronics for the precise measurement of electrical, optical, and chemical signals. AI-based imaging pipelines combine data acquisition, analysis, and automated feedback, enabling fully integrated experiments. Together, technological elements form scalable screening platforms that enable a seamless transition from experimental concept to robust, feasible applications.
About the location
FRAUENBAD : Pure culture.
The FRAUENBAD part FRAUENBAD Heidelberg's old indoor swimming pool, is a very special event location. It combines modernity and tradition, providing an environment for inspiring, focused exchange. The cult venue with its Art Nouveau architecture offers opportunities for workshops, conferences, employee events, or private celebrations. Another plus: the FRAUENBAD only about 1,000 meters from the highway and the main train station. From there, you can also reach Heidelberg's famous old town in just a few minutes on foot.
At GENESIS 26 – The LIFE SCIENCE TECH DAY, you can see for yourself the impressive mix of indoor swimming pool history, successful architecture, moderate renovation, and innovative interior design. Right in the heart of Heidelberg!
