"Strong as steel" meets "soft as silk."
With an array of properties and practical applications, silk has changed the paradigm on biotechnology, industry, and fashion. UCLA iGEM seeks to transform the silk game -- harnessing the power of synthetic biology to construct novel fibers and functions. Our mission is to genetically reprogram the physical and functional properties of silk and other raw materials.
We're standardizing the customization of raw materials, and we're spinning silk in an entirely new way.
