Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
Project Description Develop a programmable biomanufacturing platform for hyaluronic acid production with tunable molecular weight and yield. The system will incorporate synthetic regulatory circuits to dynamically control precursor flux and polymerization, using a non-pathogenic exopolysaccharide-producing chassis suitable for medical-grade manufacturing. Governance Objective From a technological perspective, the main governance objective is to ensure that the development of a programmable biomanufacturing platform for hyaluronic acid production, with tunable molecular weight and yield, contributes to an ethical, safe, and socially beneficial future, while minimizing risks to human health, the environment, and society.
