Biomanufacturing & Synthetic Biology

Using biological systems to grow materials and chemicals instead of extraction.
Biomanufacturing & Synthetic Biology

Biomanufacturing leverages engineered microorganisms to produce everything from high-strength silk proteins and spider silk to leather alternatives and bio-cement. By harnessing the cellular machinery of yeast, bacteria, and algae, factories can grow precision materials with lower energy inputs and carbon footprints than traditional petrochemical or mining processes.
