Description

?How do we strengthen existing ecosystems through diversity, in the lab and on the streets? An interesting trend from last year’s How To Biodesign meetups was that many bioneers prefer “wild” microbes for their processes over genetic modified ones. In biotech, this preference is unusual to work with polycultures rather than standard model organisms, while nature has no monoculture: there is always a symbiosis. Listen back to the stories of:  Ivan Henriques, scientist, artist, and student doctor & Student doctor Sarah Adkins-Jablonsky.

Climate crisis asks for regenerative design. With the meetup series How to Biodesign, BlueCity Lab provides a platform for and by bioneers (pioneers in biodesign). Together with Emma van der Leest (founder of BlueCity Lab, we explore the opportunities from a systemic approach to raw material flows, making smart use of the latest knowledge and expertise about circular design, but also from biotechnology and biochemistry.
