WEEK 1

Ethics, safety and security

Slides: PDF

WEEK 4

Protein Design

This week we studied some proteins, run folding simulations with PyRosetta and finally 3D-printed our protein!

WEEK 5

Next Generation Synthesis

We changed the chromophore of the purple Acropora millepora chromoprotein (amilCP) to orange, pink, and blue mutants!

WEEK 7

Genome Engineering

This week, I designed a synthetic biology quick and easy diagnostic test for COVID-19

WEEK 8

Gene drives and ethics: COVID-19

This week we had a discussion on COVID-19 with Professor Kevin Esvelt

WEEK 9

3D Biofabrication

This week we studied how to produce 3D tissues and performed a DIY experiment to create decellularized scaffolds!

WEEK 10

Bioproduction

We received a master lecture from Gingko Bioworks, the leading company in organism engineering

WEEK 11

Egineering the gut microbiome

What is the human microbiome? What if we could culture the human gut in a chip?

FINAL WEEK

Final Project

I designed a SARS-CoV-2 biosensor for at-home testing and wrote a grant proposal. Such a great experience!
