Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
First, describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why. This could be inspired by an idea for your HTGAA class project and/or something for which you are already doing in your research, or something you are just curious about: I would be interested in developing an approach to study and properly map interactions and pathways between the gut mycobiome and host gut cells. Specifically to examine how fungal components contribute to chronic inflammation and downstream cellular stress responses. This approach would contribute to the characterization of direct and indirect mycobiome inflammation pathways that are linked to disease (cancer, IBD) origin and progression.

For this homework I used gemini AI within colab to understand how the process worked as well as to achieve the design I had done in the Donovan simulation website. Once I was using colab, the design changed a lot since I could instruct my design better, but I also realized that making a planet desing was much more challenging than I initially thought. While doing this code I ran into some errors due cross contamination, which gemini helped me in localizing where the code did not indicate the robot to drop the tip, it was very helpful.
