In October 2025, at the prestigious international synthetic biology competition iGEM in Paris, a team of students from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) caused a sensation. Their innovative concept, named “InkSight,” is not just a drawing on the skin, but a fully functional medical tool: a tattoo-biosensor that visually displays important health parameters.
