🚨 BREAKING: @HHSGov just put $17M behind a Virginia startup that thinks everyone else is onshoring drug manufacturing wrong.

Americans take Tylenol 25 billion times a year. China makes roughly 70% of the acetaminophen we import.

I sat down with the founders. 🧵 1/8

🦠 Biofilms are incredibly robust. This makes them a great system to biomanufacture materials. It also makes them versatile structures for creating functional materials.

For @SynBioBeta, I wrote about biofilms in biomanufacturing and advanced materials. https://t.co/rdpQoNhFd1

Today was an exciting day at @CapraBio - Forklift training day.  Maybe not what you’d expect for a biotech startup, but an important part of building our physical manufacturing infrastructure!

Inspired after 2 days of insights & visionary talks by the likes of @MichaelKoepke80 @LanzaTech, Liz Onderko @CapraBio & many others. As a materials scientist, I'm excited about the future of #biomaterials & can't wait to write about the @Biofabricate_ 2024 Summit for @SynBioBeta

[Capra Biosciences @CapraBio]

Very excited to receive our first Ansamers! We had two sequences synthesized that couldn't be made by traditional DNA providers. The future of DNA is enzymatic! @AnsaBio

"BioMADE funding really enables us to focus on scaling and optimizing our bioreactor technology, which will allow us to more rapidly scale new products we are developing." More from member @CapraBio on their BioMADE project: https://t.co/5pINGN6z86

[Katia Tarasava @TarasavaKatia]

Excited to have my work published in @growbyginkgo, the magazine that inspired me to dive into science writing career.

Read to learn how organizations like @TheBioMADE and @CapraBio have been revitalizing the efforts to develop new types of bioreactors:

[White House Office of Science & Technology Policy @WHOSTP]

Investing in our bioeconomy = investing in American workers who will unlock sustainable solutions across industries.

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration released a plan for more Americans to join the growing biotechnology & biomanufacturing workforce. https://t.co/tO02K6Uyjl

[Capra Biosciences @CapraBio]

Excited to have our @TheBioMADE program manager David Nathan visiting Capra in person! He's getting to see bioreactor advancements funded by BioMADE happening in real time today!
