Homework

1 Describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why.

The following ideas come to my mind when i think of all the deep dives in biology that i took over the course of my life. These are based on personal experiences and things i saw in the world that intrigued me. I care about finding answers to the following questions and hope that i can build on one of these during this course:

  root (My bio deep dives)
    Melanin pigment deficiency like Vitiligo, leucoderma and albinism -> Skin cell & UV-induced DNA damage  
      Can genetically increased production of melanin reduce the risk of Skin cancer? 
        Test in microbes?
    Disc herniation
      Ozone therapy + Bioadhesives/Bioactive scaffolds for faster repair
        Generate bioadhesive/bioactive scaffold & test its strength in tissue cultures
