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.
Agile BioFoundry Selects New Projects to Decarbonize Industries and Accelerate Innovation
The Agile BioFoundry (ABF), supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), announced the selection of five external collaborations totaling over $3 million to conduct research and development needed to accelerate the U.S. biomanufacturing sector.
The awardees will collaborate with scientists from the ABF consortium, leveraging DOE national laboratory capabilities to address challenges in biomanufacturing.
ABF, NSF Select New Projects to Advance the U.S. Bioeconomy
To help accelerate innovation and develop new biomanufacturing approaches, three new projects were selected for funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).
Through the funding opportunity titled, “Accelerating Innovations in Biomanufacturing Approaches through Collaboration Between NSF and the DOE BETO-funded Agile BioFoundry (ABF), researchers will collaborate with the ABF consortium’s synthetic and bioengineering research projects.
Agile BioFoundry Hosts 2023 Industry Listening Day
The Agile BioFoundry (ABF) hosted its 2023 Industry Listening Day on July 31, 2023. ABF staff shared updates on the consortium’s latest research, partnership opportunities, and the ABF’s future direction.
The event provided an opportunity for 50+ attendees from industry and academia to provide feedback on ABF’s activities and suggestions on how it can better serve the biomanufacturing community.
Agile BioFoundry Selects New Projects in Partnership with the MSI STEM Research & Development Consortium
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced the selection of three external collaborations totaling $1 million to conduct research and development needed to accelerate the U.S. biomanufacturing sector. Investigators at minority serving institutions (MSI) will receive funding to conduct research at their parent institutions. This research will support the advancement of their technologies and position awardees to more fully leverage the BETO-funded Agile BioFoundry (ABF) consortium’s technical capabilities in future projects.
