Biological Metrics and Design

Biological Metrics and Design

image

BioDesign is an emerging interdisciplinary field that is defined quite broadly, yielding a diversity of outcomes from artistic productions to product design.

It can be unpacked with various prepositions as

design with biology (biomaterials), design of biology (synthetic biology, directed evolution), design for biology (holobiont design)

At the Living Interfaces Lab, we define it as the synthesis of quantitative biological data analysis and design principles to design for biological systems. By leveraging bioinformatics and advanced data science techniques, biological metrics provide precise insights into genetic, physiological, and environmental data, to be incorporated into the design process - for the stewardship of a complex ecosystem.

The questions we explore in this topic are:

What extra-sensory metrics do we need to understand the complexity of an ecosystem? How can we design interfaces to interact with living organisms that we can’t see?
