Altin-Yavuzarslan Engineered Living Systems Lab

The Altin-Yavuzarslan Engineered Living Systems Lab focuses on advanced biomanufacturing and material research. The lab designs engineered living materials (ELM) and 3D prints them to create functional form factors. We develop biocompatible polymers for ELM formulations and innovative encapsulation strategies for ELM design. Our goal is to fabricate smart ELM-based objects for on-demand production, sustainable environments, and biomedical applications.
