Biomaterials
We attempted to produce a moldable & 3D printable bioplastic by transferring the acetylation machinery from Pseudomonas fluorescens into Gluconacetobacter hansenii.

Amberless Hell Cell
We worked to create hearty, radiation, heat, & cold resistant bacteria that exemplify codon security and can't transfer engineered genes into the environment.

Material Waterproofing
Our team biomimetically pursued novel wasp proteins and bacterial wax esters that prevent water absorbance without being toxic to the surrounding ecosystem.

Biodegradability
Though cellulose acetate is an inherently biodegradable material, our team undertook to actively degrade the biomaterial to streamline the process.

Cellulose Cross-Linker
We designed a system for both strengthening cellulose and attaching biosensors and other biological cells to cellulose surfaces.
