Process & Place: A study of heritage value in building deconstruction and material reuse

The proposed study expands on my ongoing research into the intersection of heritage conservation and the generation of architectural waste. Specifically, it understands the relationship between building demolition and heritage conservation to be both technically and conceptually linked. With this, the study addresses the “crisis of accumulation” both of heritage sites (Harrison, 2013) and growing […]

Second generation BMP2 for dental surgical applications

The intern will be producing a therapeutic protein, i.e. ‘biologic’ (BMP2) using mutated bacterial plasmids as the bio-factory. The intern will create a sequence of DNA to be transformed into E. coli cells (BL21). The cells will be grown up in the lab, and studied for enhanced clinical efficacy. Proteins will be affinity purified and […]
