Teachers of the year
Origins of life; non-equilibrium physics; RNA/DNA replication; protocells; prebiotic chemistry; microfluidics; systems biophysics
Dieter Braun is Professor of Systems Biophysics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany. His research focuses on the origin of life, investigating how non-equilibrium physical and chemical processes can lead to molecular self-organization, replication, and evolution. He combines theoretical modeling and experimental systems (including thermophoresis, microfluidics, protocells) to explore prebiotic conditions for RNA/DNA replication and protocell behavior. He has led collaborative research initiatives (such as the CRC “Emergence of Life” and the Origins Excellence Cluster in Munich) and has published extensively. His work spans physics, chemistry, and biology, with implications both for understanding early evolution and for technological applications.

This is the registration page for the virtual edition of the RED Training School (June 2nd – 8th, 2026). This online Training School will feature recorded lectures from the current year’s in-person RED event. Each streamed lecture will be followed by a live Q&A session with the speaker. Throughout the week, attendees will have the chance to network with students from all around the world, connect with the lecturers, present their PhD topics (optional), and share and discuss research across disciplines. All lectures will be conducted in English.
Once your registration has been validated, you will get the login to access the interface for this virtual school.
Participants who watch the whole lecture series and succeed in short quizzes about it will receive a certificate of attendance. Live animations and Q&A sessions will be organized at CEST (UTC + 2), but you can watch the lectures and replays of the Q&A session at your convenience in your time zone.
Registrations are open until May 26th, 1 PM CEST (UTC +2).
The registration form is located under the Lecturers presentation. Go to registration form
