GENESIS 26
The LIFE SCIENCE TECH DAY
Engineering Next-Generation Platforms for Disease Modeling and Drug Screening
Inside Heidelberg’s innovation corridor: where innovative industry meets state-of-the-art science — and world-class research universities meet applicable high-tech. The Genesis 26 event creates growth and success with 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 9:00 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.
About the topic
Integrierte, humanbasierte 3D-Systeme Thematisch rückt das Event Technologien für integrierte, humanbasierte 3D-Systeme in den Mittelpunkt – von Organoiden bis zu Organ-on-a-Chip. Im Fokus stehen essenzielle Bausteine in den Bereichen Gehirn, Herz und Darm, Krankheitsmodelle, Krebsforschung sowie „Drug Screening“ (Screening von Wirkstoffen). Die Impulse der Speakerinnen und Speaker setzen jeweils die spezifischen technologischen Schwerpunkte und stellen den Workshop-Teilnehmenden aktuelle Methoden und Entwicklungen vor. Sie eröffnen tiefe Einblicke in die Präzisionsmikrofabrikation komplexer Gewebe- und Barriermodelle, die Weiterentwicklung von Bioinks und biofabrizierten Konstrukten sowie in die neuesten mikrofluidischen Plattformen – mit Ventilen, Perfusion und kontrollierten Mikroumgebungen. Ergänzt wird dies durch smarte Materialien für Membranen, Scaffolds und Soft-Actuation, durch hochautomatisierte Systeme für Proben- und Hochdurchsatzanwendungen sowie durch eingebettete Sensorik und Mikro- bzw. Nanoelektronik zur präzisen Messung von elektrischen, optischen und chemischen Signalen. KI-basierte Bildgebungs-Pipelines verbinden Datenerfassung, Analyse und automatisierte Rückkopplung und ermöglichen somit vollständig integrierte Experimente. Gemeinsam formen technologischen Elemente skalierbare Screening-Plattformen, durch die der Übergang vom experimentellen Konzept zu robusten realisierbaren Anwendungen nahtlos gelingt.
About the location
FRAUENBAD HEIDELBERG: Pure culture.
The FRAUENBAD, part of 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 is 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!
