Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
- First, describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why. My plan for the final project is a synthetic membrane that has Mesenchymal Stem Cells Microvesicules (which have scientifically proven regenerative and other positive properties) intercalating inbetween the membrane’s layers. Which could be used for burn wounds and/or donation organs preservation while in transportation.
Week 2 HW: DNA Read Write and Edit
Part 1: Benchling & In-silico Gel Art: Simulate Restriction Enzyme Digestion with the following Enzymes: Create a pattern/image in the style of Paul Vanouse’s Latent Figure Protocol artworks. I tried to make a pattern that looked like a staircase going down by using logic but couldn’t quite seem to get it right…
Part 1: Python Script for Opentrons Artwork I used Ronan’s provided GUI and a nice little pixelart of a kidney to try out the design and figure out coordinates. Python coding was new and quite… surprising. But using the toad.py provided by the USFQ node I figured out how to get the code to work. This is a kidney art that i’ll try to print. Hopefully it actually resembles something!
