The ink's primary pigment, eumelanin, is the raw material characterized in my undergraduate thesis, and the starting point of this biomanufacturing project. HOMEWORK #1 1. What do you want to make, and why? I am looking to find the most efficient way to biomanufacture melanin nanoparticles (MNPs), specifically eumelanin, and use them as a functional UV-absorbing ingredient for a more natural and effective sunscreen that reutilizes a form of biomatter that is not only very common but often overlooked in the Peruvian context.Hugoen
