Mitchell Joachim: Don't build your home, grow it! Des champignons comme emballage | Ecovative. Ecovative Design à New York a utilisé des champignons pour créer une matière résistante à la chaleur et au feu, à absorption d'énergie, biodégradable (même en anaérobiose, sans oxygène), et à faible énergie appelée Mycobond. Elle a été initialement développée par deux diplômés de l'Université Polytechnique Rensselaer en vertu d'une subvention du National Science Foundation (NSF). Selon la NSF, pour être produit, le Mycobond n’exige "... qu'un huitième de l'énergie et un dixième du dioxyde de carbone d'un matériau mousse d'emballage traditionnel »via Starre Vartan / inhabitat.com"Ecovative Design in New York has used mushrooms to create a heat and fire-resistant, energy-absorbing, biodegradable (even anaerobically, without oxygen), and low-energy material called Mycobond.

Nadine Bongaerts In 2010 Nadine Bongaerts and Eva Brinkman were part of a team that took part in the annual international scientific competition iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine), organised by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. iGEM challenges teams of international students to come up with new biological building bricks for a micro-organism.
Their project, which involved a bacterium with properties for degrading oil, put them in the top 6 of the 124 teams. This experience was the starting point for their company Biotecture, which focuses on knowledge exchange around, and raising awareness of life sciences. Ellen ter Gast Ellen ter Gast trained as a medical biologist and philosopher, before specialising as a researcher and consultant in the field of strategic management and organisational development.
