Conclusion 7

It has been a first exploration in which I have been able to rule out some paths and strengthen others. A very enriching process in which exploration, continuous research, self-improvement and the desire to advance have been essential.

It is a speculative study in constant evolution in which a part of what has been explored is shown. In this sample I have been able to develop different biomaterials with their characteristics and properties through the extracts of medicinal funghi.

The idea is to include other types of funghi in the exploration and see how they would work with a process similar to the one I have been able to develop up to now. See the differences between one and the other and adapt the recipes and conditions of the biomaterial to carry out the final desire of generating a transdermal biomaterial.

These are the next steps that I consider for the near future. Testing of biomaterials:

Does the biomaterial have the properties of funghi in the right proportion?

In case of having them, what would be the permanence in which the properties are maintained in the material?

What characteristics would the biomaterial have to have in order for it to act as a transdermal tissue?

Application research

I identify myself as a person who is restless and curious about the world around. Since I was little I have felt linked to nature and the environment and everything that happened in it, being that social and environmental sensitivity my source of inspiration. When I finished my nursing studies I started with various training in the field of design. During my career I have been constantly learning and searching for new realities. After this project in which I have been able to combine the healthcare world with the world of design, I have felt the satisfaction of discovering the maker world from a vision very similar to my values.

One of my greatest interests is to collaborate and promote the development of new perspectives to improve the health of both people and the ecosystem through biodesign and biomanufacturing.

This is the beginning of a new way of being in the world.
