It is our great honor to invite you to attend the 2nd International Symposium on Living Systems Design Research (2nd ISLSDR), which will be held from Sep. 10-13, 2026, at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), Taichung, Taiwan. This Symposium is jointly organized by NCHU and the Japanese Society for Living Systems Design Research (JSLSDR). The JSLSDR intends to create a forum for Designing Living Systems Leads to What Life Is. The central theme of the 2nd ISLSDR symposium focuses on Engineering the Dialogue of Life: Host–Microbe–Molecule Communication.This was further discussed by connecting five aspects:
- Engineering Immunity for Sustainable Health
- Decoding and Engineering Human Disease Mechanisms
- Precision Health and Therapeutic Discovery
- Crop Resilience for a Sustainable Food Future
- From Genome Engineering to Artificial Life
For detailed information, please visit our symposium website: https://www.jslsdr2026.com/ and check back frequently for updates.
On behalf of the organizing committee and JSLSDR, we cordially invite you to participate in this symposium to share your expertise. We look forward to seeing you in Taichung in September. If you have any concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us (selena@dragon.nchu.edu.tw).
Best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
