Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
A synthetic biology platform that programs mushroom mycelium as a controllable biofactory to produce tunable, nano-engineered chitin–β-glucan polymers for regenerative packaging and materials. Biological engineering application I want to develop I want to develop a synthetic biology–enabled fungal biomanufacturing platform, inspired directly by my work with Nanoshroom, that engineers mushrooms not just as a growth substrate but as programmable biological factories. The application focuses on producing standardized, high-performance chitin–β-glucan polymers that can replace petroleum plastics and forest-derived materials in packaging and other material systems.
