NYU-Abu-Dhabi # HypeColl: Biomanufacturing of Biomimietic Bacterial Collagen-Like Protein # Collagen is ubiquitous in the human body making it widely used in applications ranging from tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to cosmetics and supplements. Collagen is often sourced from animal sources leading to ethical, social, and even religious concerns. Through HypeColl, we aim to produce a bacterial collagen-like protein (CLP), Scl2.28-1. CLPs are thermally stable at body temperature but do not form collagen fibers. ...
