 illage - [1]Map\n\n   SpeakerBio:Del de Zela\n   Del de Zela is a STEM-ori
 ented artist that seeks to redefine the term\n   ‘biotech’\; they inve
 nt devices powered by microbiology meant for\n   household and personal us
 es. Del de Zela uses an array of molecular\n   techniques to program micro
 bes and Maya to design microarchitectures\n   that house them.\n\n   Descr
 iption:\n   Our goal is to develop household or personal technologies that
 \n   contain\, cultivate\, and regulate bioengineered microecosystems. Our
 \n   self-sustaining systems are designed to offer a host of functions tha
 t\n   solve everyday problems for people. Our debut device\, a biological\
 n   candle called ‘Lanteryn’\, will start with the core functions of\n
    light production\, fragrance generation\, and insect-control. Future\n 
   directions would include wearable biotechnologies\, such as a\n   “Bio
 -Watch” that can convey time via light color\, produce odorants\n   comp
 atible with the user’s body scent\, and generate antimicrobial\n   subst
 ances for sanitation. Many of these functionalities are indeed\n   innate 
 capabilities of our chosen micro-organism. Genetic editing\n   technologie
 s will be employed to modify them and ensure their safety\n   while optimi
 zing their desirable properties. Previous attempts to\n   utilize biolumin
 escent species either (1) introduced light generating\n   genes into organ
 isms that did not possess the physiology compatible\n   with the energetic
  demand of light generation\, (2) used organisms that\n   were exceedingly
  sensitive to contamination or fluctuations in\n   environmental condition
 s\, or (3) used organisms with specialized light\n   organs that cultivate
  glowing bacteria and cannot glow otherwise. The\n   concepts we are propo
 sing redefine the term ‘biotechnology’.\n   Without a preceding\, succ
 essful framework by which we can base our\n   designs on\, the burden of p
 roof rests on us. Therefore\, considerable\n   time and effort must be pla
 ced into demonstrating that our vision is\n   realistic\, effective\, and 
 safe to the public. With our technology\, the\n   future is ever-glowing.\
