Cultured carp – yes, fish made in a lab – is not that crazy. After all, we have the Impossible Burger, Beyond Burger and other meat alternatives, and there’s the leather without the cow too, so why not fish without the fish? Check out this slide guide from ABLC NEXT in San Francisco to find […]
Codexis has reimagined the degree, and speed, of transformation of protein performance possible through protein engineering – Better libraries, better (bigger) data and a highly integrated workflow that leads to rapid, and very large, performance improvements. They are also engineering an ultra-stable enzyme for carbon capture. Rob Wilson, PhD, SVP of Business Operations and GM […]
The California Air Resources Board’s framework is proving to be an example to follow for states like Washington. But there are resource gaps, according to Tim Zenk from Molecule, a public affairs and advocacy group. Check out this slide guide for the latest on the Clean Fuels Standard HB 1110 bill status, and more.
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery Digital biology, synthetic biology and metabolic engineering are not all the same – just ask Matt Lipscomb, CEO and Founder of DMC who shared this presentation at ABLC NEXT in San […]
Ecovia focuses on fermentation, purification, and derivatization with target markets in personal care and hygiene for their polymers. They are addressing the 98% of SAPs or superabsorbent polymers that are non-biodegradable, like those found in baby diapers, with the creation of their 100% biobased and biodegradable SAPs. Drew Hertig, Chief Business Officer at Ecovia, shared […]
Taking non-reyclable waste to sustainable chemicals and biofuels is Enerkem’s world. Current products from ‘trash’ include syngas, methanol and ethanol with alternative pathways currently under development. Andrea Redford, Chief Business Development Officer from Enerkem gave this illuminating presentation at the ABLC NEXT in San Francisco that details the latest on their Alberta Biofuels commercial scale […]
Domo arigato Mr. Roboto – How would you like an automated microfluidic system to help create an ultra-high throughput workstation for the screening and optimization of microbial strains, cell lines, enzymes, proteins and peptides? Efficient Robotics has made this happen with their NTP (nano-titer-pipe) automated microfluidic platform! Martin Mitchell, Global Sales & Marketing Director from […]
From Europe we’d like to shine a light today on “Hydrogen Roadmap Europe: A sustainable pathway for the European Energy Transition“ concludes that hydrogen is an essential element in the energy transition and can account for 24% of final energy demand and 5.4m jobs by 2050. The new study by the FCH JU was developed with […]
Cyclotron Road is a partnership between the non-profit Activate.org and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to empower scientists to advance their technologies from concept to first product through a fellowship program. It’s a home for hard tech innovators. Companies like Opus 12, MicroByre, Visolis, CinderBio, and others had their beginnings in Cyclotron Road, according to Tom […]
Tailored hydrolysis enzymes have many benefits for biomass, especially since it’s a soup of the day and each unique substrate is a combination of feedstock. MetGen has this covered with their production strains and processes that streamline the chemo-enzymatic route to bioplastics and platform chemicals. Alex Michine, CEO at MetGen, gave this illuminating presentation at […]
