Hello & Welcome!!!
I am Avinash Manjula-Basavanna and I work in the EMERGING and EXCITING Field of ENGINEERED LIVING MATERIALS, which are defined as the Engineered Materials composed of Living Cells that Form, Assemble or Produce the Desired Materials and/or Modulate the Functional Performance of the Material, which also inherits Life-Like Properties such as Self-Regeneration, Self-Regulation, Self-Healing, Stimuli Responsivity, Evolvability and/or Self-Sustainability.
