LIVING MATERIALS
Materials at the Interface Between Technology and Life Sciences

Structural proteins are Nature’s building blocks, conferring stiffness, structure, and function to ordinarily soft biological materials. These biomaterials provide a unique opportunity by being simultaneously “technological” (e.g. mechanically robust, micro- and nanostructured, high-performing) and “biological” (e.g.

living, adaptable, bio-functional) making them ideally suited for applications at the interface between these two domains. Our goal is to provide innovation for new advanced material processing and manufacturing based on sustainable carbon-neutral technologies, and imagine a new class of applications for living materials that operate seamlessly at the interface between the biological and the technological worlds.
