https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/index.htmlAbout me I’m Sergio, an undergraduate Bioengineering student from Bolivia with a strong interest in exploring how synthetic biology and emerging technologies can be applied to create innovative and regenerative solutions. I’m excited about HTGAA because it connects science, creativity, and real-world impact, which aligns with my curiosity for experimenting at the intersection of biology, design, and engineering. I’m looking forward to learning from this community and expanding both my technical skills and my perspective on what’s possible.Hugoenhttps://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlBiomanufacturing Proposal 1. What I would like to biomanufacture and why I want to biomanufacture custom-grown mycelium acoustic panels for concert halls, studios, and public buildings. The target product is a lightweight, shaped, sound-absorbing panel made from agricultural waste bound by fungal mycelium. The panel can be grown into custom geometries such as diffusers, clouds, and wall tiles, and then heat-treated to stop fungal growth.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/week-2-hw-genetic-design-in-kernel/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/week-2-hw-genetic-design-in-kernel/index.htmlGenetic Construct Design Name: Sergio Cuiza Repository: cuiza-mycelium-panels Folder: HTBAA_HW2_Sergio_Cuiza / Cuiza-mycelium-panels Part 0: Setup I created the repository cuiza-mycelium-panels and the folder HTBAA_HW2_Sergio_Cuiza / Cuiza-mycelium-panels in the Kernel HTBAA 2026 workspace. This organization keeps all parts, sequences, and constructs for my project in one centralized location, making it easier to track versions and share work with collaborators.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/week-3-designing-a-cell-free-reaction-composition/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/week-3-designing-a-cell-free-reaction-composition/index.htmlPart A: Compare Cell-Free Reaction Compositions 1. Why do potassium glutamate and magnesium glutamate concentrations differ between compositions? Which is more sensitive? Potassium glutamate and magnesium glutamate are both essential for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), but they serve different biochemical roles and their optimal concentrations depend on the formulation’s goals.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sergio-cuiza/final-project/index.html
