Genetic Engineer and BioDesigner

Hey, I’m Ren!

I am PhD student in the Biological Engineering department and the Media Lab at MIT. I combine biology, art, design, and technology to reimagine how we build and interact with the living world.

I design and engineer living materials, organisms, and tools that inspire others to imagine a grown, thriving future.
