Engineer Climate-Responsive Cellular Systems

Design cellular systems that can detect and respond to climate change indicators by performing remediation actions, such as carbon capture, pollution cleanup, or ecosystem restoration. These engineered organisms would act as living environmental sensors and responders, automatically activating when environmental conditions reach critical thresholds. Applications include autonomous carbon sequestration, plastic degradation, and toxic cleanup. Challenges include environmental safety, containment systems, and ensuring organisms perform only intended functions without ecological disruption.
