• Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices

  Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices Biological Engineering Project Genetically waterproof mycelium surfboards from olive waste. My prior research: Waterproofed mycelium surfboards using polyester/pine resin coatings (6-12 months seawater durability). HTGAA innovation: Replace chemicals → CRISPR-engineered hydrophobins (fungal water-repellent proteins) for permanent waterproofing.
