It would be worn on the upper arm and would combine two kinds of measurements in one circular design. A small reusable electronic core in the center would use light to measure heart rate and pulse shape. A replaceable ring around it would collect sweat and measure sweat rate, sodium level, and skin temperature. The Bio-skin would be designed to last for three work shifts, while the core would be removed and charged after each 8–12 hour shift. The patch would help a worker notice patterns related to heat, hydration, and physical effort, and provide timely reminders when signs of increasing strain appear.</description></item><item><title>Week 2 HW: DNA Design</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/qingyun-liu/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/qingyun-liu/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.html</guid><description>Engineering Bacterial Nanocellulose for Bio-skin and Bio-PCB Applications HTBAA Homework 2&#10;1 Define the Expression Target 1.1 What molecule am I expressing? My biomanufactured material is bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). BNC is not a protein; it is an extracellular polysaccharide composed of β-1,4-linked glucose chains. It will serve as a common biological material platform for two possible downstream applications:</description></item><item><title>Week 3 HW: Cell-Free Reaction Design</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/qingyun-liu/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/qingyun-liu/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.html</guid><description>3. ASSIGNMENT: CFPS REACTION DESIGN FOR SFGFP, PETASE, RETEPLASE Copy and paste this section (section 3, A-F) into your website! Note, coopetition.htgaa.org is intended to support you as you answer the following questions.&#10;Goal: using the collective intelligence of the HTBAA community and accessible AI systems, design novel CFPS reaction compositions for each of the three target proteins: sfGFP, PETase, and Reteplase to reduce the cost per gram of functional protein. Each design should be compatible with the experimental framework described above and should reflect the distinct expression and folding requirements of that protein. You can learn more about the details of the coopetition here.</description></item><item><title>Final Project</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/qingyun-liu/final-project/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/qingyun-liu/final-project/index.html</guid><description/></item></channel></rss>
