She/Her

Bottom-Up De novo Engineered Living Materials (BUD-ELMs) have the potential for robust scalability, controlled morphology, and tunable functionality. However, we lack the fundamental knowledge necessary to genetically manipulate them to tailor their bulk material for application purposes. Thus, my aim is to identify new design principles to create dynamic and stiffer BUD-ELMs.
