Researchers at the Agile BioFoundry (ABF) and the Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU), have successfully scaled up a bio-based process that converts ethanol into a valuable precursor for consumer products, such as paints, coatings, and diapers. The researchers worked with industry partner, Industrial Microbes, to develop the process.
Nurturing STEM Opportunities for Native Americans
Nationally, Native American enrollment in postsecondary programs is less than one percent, so Berkeley Lab launched an ambitious internship program to help boost representation by recruiting students from Arizona State University to work at the Lab. Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Division Science Deputy Trent Northen helps lead the program. Meet this summer’s Biosciences Area interns.
Creating Carbon Negative Materials with Ancient Microbes
Mango Materials is using methane-eating bacteria to make polymers that can replace carbon-intensive plastics. Scientists at the Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) helped refine their production process.
Scaling up the Bioeconomy Workforce
A hands-on laboratory course at the Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) is preparing bioprocess engineering students for careers in the bioeconomy.
