About Gokce Altin Yavuzarslan

Gokce Altin Yavuzarslan’s research focuses on novel materials, 3D printing and advanced encapsulation systems. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington in Molecular Engineering in 2024, working under the guidance of Prof. Alshakim Nelson on the design of polymers to fabricate genetically programmed engineered living materials. Her research group is interested in the design of synthetic living systems as therapeutic platforms, sustainable built environments, and smart biochemically active objects. Her innovative work at the intersection of biotechnology, materials science, and engineering to advance sustainable material design and programmable living systems.

Chemistry and Chemical Biology

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.
