I’m Dana, and I study Life Science and Biotechnology at Yonsei University in South Korea. Welcome to my HTBAA page!&#10;🍠 Fun fact: I love anything made with sweet potatoes. Should I try to biomanufacture everything I need from sweet potatoes? Maybe this course is my chance to find out!</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/dana-issagulova/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><item><title>Week 1 HW: Final Project Ideas</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/dana-issagulova/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/dana-issagulova/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.html</guid><description>From Seaweed to Seoul or from Seoul to seaweed&#10;For my first HTBAA project, I would like to explore a leather-like material made from seaweed-derived alginate and bacterial cellulose. My initial goal is to manufacture enough material for 10 prototype cardholders.&#10;What would I like to biomanufacture, and why? Living and studying in South Korea makes me curious about finding new uses for familiar materials such as seaweed. I want to explore how biology could help produce something that people carry and use every day. My central question is whether biologically produced polymers can become a flexible, attractive, and useful accessory.</description></item><item><title>Final Project</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/dana-issagulova/final-project/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/dana-issagulova/final-project/index.html</guid><description/></item></channel></rss>
