This site converts a free-form request into a structured construct brief (gene, promoter, host, vector constraints, assembly method, output). That brief can be fed into an agent that: (1) searches Addgene for candidate backbones/inserts, (2) selects parts, (3) plans assembly (Gibson/Golden Gate), (4) generates QC (primers, junction checks), and (5) exports GenBank/map/BOM.

"Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not."

During my final year of high school, built a project with Edoardo to bridge young talent with educational and professional opportunities in Italy — collected and organised opportunities across Italy and Europe, partnered with teacher networks to deliver them directly to students.

After 5 years, there is an updated version with opportunities worldwide for ages 13 to ∞.

When Michele Franzese invited me to mentor at the University of Turin, I immediately said yes. I worked with PhD students from across Europe (ages 25–40) over five days of intense collaboration — tackling real-world challenges in education, healthcare, agriculture, tourism, and craftsmanship.

Together with Michele we are also building BoldVoices.it — a platform to find great young speakers in Italy before they are widely known.
