About me I am a lover of art, pholosophy, and their connection with biology.Hugoenhttps://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlA Factory of Accidents One input, one process, a variety of products. I am interested in creating a process, in which the varying of the output is used as a form of bioart.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.htmlWeek 2 HW: DNA Design 0. Preparations: While waiting for access to Kernel from my node, I thought of what my potential DNA design may be. I initially sought to engineer Tar, a native E. coli chemoreceptor, so that I could directly alter what chemical landscapes the bacteria responded to. I ultimately abandoned this approach because it was solving a problem that the organism already solves naturally: E. coli can detect and chemotax toward a range of nutrient-related attractants. More importantly, changing the sensory system would make the project increasingly about engineering bacterial navigation rather than about observing and recording the variability that emerges from a biological system.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/final-project/index.htmlhttps://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/daryoush-afshinjoo/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.html
