Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
Biological Engineering of Oleaginous Yeasts: Precision Lipids in Food 1. First, describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why. I am developing a Precision Lipid Production Platform by using oleaginous yeast and engineering them. My goal is to engineer yeast cells to produce lipids in a desired composition. By metabolically changing the fatty acids profilies, we can design fats with specific properties. This platform will allow to produce designer fats which are both nutrionally and technofunctionally optimized.
