Synthetic Bioogy in Regenerative Medicine: Drug Delivery The convergence of biology and engineering offers innovative potential to address complex healthcare challenges. More specifically, regenerative medicine has advanced enormously through inspiration from nature. Nowadays, bioengineered materials can be adapted to mimic and integrate natural designs with intricate mechanisms found in living organisms, ecosystems, and evolutionary processes. The main goal is to develop new materials, devices, and systems that can restore and enhance tissue performance and function, leading to new therapeutic approaches. Several essential synthetic biology techniques are used toward this aim, such as genetic engineering, cellular reprogramming, cellular pathway engineering, CRISPR-Cas9, delivery systems, artificial cells and organs, stem cell engineering, biomechanics, and bioinformatics.
🤖 Opentrons Liquid-Handling Artwork 🧠 Project Overview This project transforms the Opentrons OT-2 liquid handling robot into a biological plotter. Using coordinate-based programming, the robot deposits fluorescent bacterial droplets onto an agar plate to form a structured artistic pattern.
