Ma hope o ka waena o 2010s, ʻo Kauka Scott Fulbright lāua ʻo Kauka Stevan Albers, Ph.D. nā haumāna i ka Cell and Molecular Biology Program ma Colorado State University, i ka manaʻo hoihoi o ka lawe ʻana i ka biofabrication, ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka biology e ulu ai i nā mea, a me ka hoʻohana ʻana ia mea no nā huahana o kēlā me kēia lā. E kū ana ʻo Fulbright ma kahi ʻāpana kāleka aloha i ka wā i hiki mai ai ka manaʻo o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā inika mai nā algae.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā inika he petrochemical-based, akā me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka algae, kahi ʻenehana hoʻomau, e hoʻololi i nā huahana i loaʻa i ka aila, e hana i kahi kapuaʻi kalapona maikaʻi ʻole. Ua hiki iā Albers ke lawe i nā pūnaewele algae a hoʻololi iā lākou i puaʻa, a ua hana lākou i mea paʻi ʻīnika kumu i hiki ke paʻi ʻia.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Fulbright lāua ʻo Albers i ka Living Ink, kahi hui biomaterials aia ma Aurora, CO, nāna i kūʻai aku i nā ʻīnika pigmented e pili ana i ka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele. ʻO Fulbright ka Luna Hoʻokele o Living Ink, me Albers ʻo CTO.
