    This talk will discuss novel, equitable technologies for improving human health, remediating environmental contamination, and circularizing the carbon economy. Global inequality is the highest in recent history, and disenfranchised groups are disproportionately burdened by pollution while receiving little benefit from the industrial infrastructure causing it. These inequities are exacerbated by limited access to healthcare resources, contributing to lower life expectancies and preventable deaths. The Furst lab seeks to address these inequalities by developing technologies that tackle the grand challenges of human health, environmental remediation, and sustainability. Specifically, the Furst Lab takes inspiration from Nature. Over four billion years of evolution, natural systems have acquired critical advantages that engineered systems have yet to replicate. By understanding fundamental biological processes, we can improve engineered environments.
