Prantar Tamuli

Prantar Tamuli is the founder of Tattva, a biotechnology platform leveraging systems biology and cellular intelligence of cyanobacteria to develop carbon-negative engineered living materials. He is the recipient of the Manton Prize 2020 from the British Phycological Society for the invention of a novel solid-state cyanobacterial biomanufacturing technique. He is an interdisciplinary scientist with a PhD scholar at the Advanced Centre for Biochemical Engineering, University College London, where his research focused on native phenotypic programming, solid-state photobioreactor engineering, and the bioprocess scaling of living material for industrial applications. Prior to bioengineering, he worked for over a decade as a professional architect designing large-scale, ecologically regenerative infrastructure. His trajectory spans systems biology, bioprocess engineering, and sustainable construction, forming the basis of Tattva’s long-term vision: to create a biologically grown built environment through programmable microbial systems that replace extractive materials with regenerative, living materials.
