I ❤️ learning and consider myself a lifelong learner. I have a blog called MD Biomimicry integrating medicine, AI and Biomimicry where I edit AI generated content and add my own ideas and research suggestions. In 2020 I came up with the HOPE method; reverse engineering antibodies from cryo-EM and mass spectrometry data with de novo synthesis and published a more detailed paper in 2023 with a preprint in 2022. Since then I have a strong interest to transition into the field. I suffer from an immunodeficiency thus I know the HOPE monoclonal antibodies can bring to patients, hence why I would love to help build a biomanufacturing factory dedicated to producing monoclonal antibodies and mRNA vaccines.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/michellie-hernandez/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><item><title>Week 1 HW: Final Project Ideas</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/michellie-hernandez/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/michellie-hernandez/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.html</guid><description>Author: Dr. Michellie Hernandez, MD&#10;Assisted by Chat-GPT for content clarity and Gemini for estimated feasibility calculations.

In the case of the coopetition, enzymatic ratios of naturally occuring microenvironment composition where the desired protein is produced and folded should be adjusted to functionally equivalent enzymes in the E. Coli. The ratios and proportions of the composition should be similar within the E. coli lysate. I hypothesize that this might enhance proper folding of the protein. Thus for cell free protein synthesis (CFPS) of reteplase the microenvironment to mimic will be the interior of mammalian Endoplasmic Reticulum, while CFPS of Petase the microenvironment to mimic will be the cytosol of Ideonella sakainsis where Petase occurs naturally. In CFSP of sfGFP the natural micro environment composition to mimic will be the cytosol of the Aequorea Victoria jellyfish.</description></item><item><title>Final Project</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/michellie-hernandez/final-project/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/michellie-hernandez/final-project/index.html</guid><description/></item></channel></rss>
