Metals like zinc can accumulate in water, soil, and waste streams, where they are difficult to detect and recover efficiently. Traditional approaches have been costly and challenging to adapt. Metlock explores an alternative approach: what if we could program living cells to help? Metlock is a modular synthetic biology platform designed to engineer microbes to utilize chemical signals and genetic circuits to safely live in metal-rich environments.
