Novel biomanufacturing platform for remote environments

Technology

University

We have developed a novel biomanufacturing platform that resolves the core pain points of microbial cell culture - namely the high capex, high opex, and high skillsets required. This would be well suited to biomanufacturing in resource-limited or remote environments. Chassis are non-model microbes. Looking to understand what problems we can solve with this approach, and needed supply chains where biomanufacturing can plug in. IE, what should we be trying to make and who wants to help us figure it out? Potential synergies with effluent remediation and/or coastal infrastructure.
