LOEWE-Schwerpunkt MOSLA
In MOSLA, transdisciplinary approaches to solving a fundamental problem of mankind are being researched: the long-term storage of information. The development of molecular memories, both for elementary organic cluster building blocks and DNA molecules, is to be advanced. The scenario of a "Digital Dark Age", i.e. the loss of all digital information, is thus to be prevented. In researching DNA as an information storage device, MOSLA will focus on two core areas: On increasing the storage density of DNA, for example through better algorithms for data coding and the use of modified nucleotides, and on information storage in living cells (or spores).

Started in 2020, the LOEWE center emergenCITY is researching resilient infrastructures of digital cities that can withstand crises and disasters. emergenCITY is organized as an interdisciplinary and multi-site cooperation led by Technische Universität Darmstadt, Universität Kassel, and Philipps-Universität Marburg as well as the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and the City of Darmstadt. The center partners with several other institutions from academia, industry, and public administration.

How do bacteria communicate with human inflammatory cells? This topic is at the center of the LOEWE research cluster "Diffusible Signals" (Impact of diffusible signals at human cell-microbe interfaces). The Hessian state government is funding "Diffusible Signals" in the 13th season of the Hessian state offensive for the development of scientific and economic excellence ("Landesoffensive zur Entwicklung wissenschaftlicher und ökonomischer Exzellenz" - LOEWE) with a total of about 4.8 million euros.

Learn moreLOEWE-Schwerpunkt Natur 4.0
Conservation strategies require the observation and assessment of landscape. Expert surveys must make trade-offs here between level of detail, spatial coverage, and temporal repetition, which are only partially resolved even by resorting to airborne or satellite-based remote sensing approaches. This limits differentiated conservation planning and response options.
