Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life when hosts Karl and Erum share stories from the #biotech & #syntheticbiology industries.

[eXoZymes @eXoZymes]

CEO of @eXoZymes, Michael @heltzen, joins @messaginglab's 'Grow Everything' podcast to explain how cell-free biomanufacturing is opening new possibilities for natural products, nutraceuticals, and medicines.

“The only thing that will really, really stop that conversation about ‘can cell-free biomanufacturing really be true?’ is when people can pick a product off the shelf at their pharmacy and buy it for themselves. At that point, I think the conversation will finally - even for the most conservative segments - be over, that this is a new way of doing biomanufacturing without cells. It enables products that otherwise would be impossible or very difficult.”

Should we use @ginkgo’s autonomous lab to test if Claude’s gene editor actually works ? Lmk what you think

[Jason Kelly @jrkelly]

Cells run on code. If you want to learn what makes them harder to code than computers, how much AI speeds it up, and about the robotic labs we build and sell at @ginkgo check out new Grow Everything Podcast. Links below!

Thanks @messaginglab, @karlschmieder, and @erumazeez for having me on for the 200th episode!

The FDA is phasing out synthetic dyes. Food companies have committed to pulling Red 40, Red 3, and others from shelves. The $3 billion natural color market is about to absorb a billion more in conversions. Synbio has a window.

#SynBioBeta2026 is May 4-7th in San Jose, California, you can learn more about the conference and get your tickets here: https://t.co/fkdZ0rSi7E

At @SynBioBeta 2026, a Planetary Health track session examines how to capture this moment: Birgit Cameron (CEO & Co-founder, Prism Bio), Ricky Cassini (CEO, Michroma), Gregory Hocking (VP Global R&D New Innovation Territories, Mars Snacking), and Erum Azeez Khan (Partner, Messaginglab).

Birgit Cameron co-founded Prism Bio to produce a full spectrum of natural colorants from photosynthetic bacteria via fermentation, with photo- and thermo-stability across a broad pH range and a proprietary ColorSwitch technology that can change color using laser light.

Ricky Cassini co-founded Michroma in 2019 to build fungal biofactories for natural food colors using CRISPR-enhanced filamentous fungi. His flagship Red+ is pH and heat stable enough to survive pasteurization, cooking, and extrusion, and earlier this year Michroma won the Global Food Tech Award Americas at Future Food-Tech and the Kraft Heinz Innovation award. He's a Forbes 30 Under 30 and MIT Innovator Under 35.

Gregory Hocking brings the view from inside one of the world's largest food companies: what Mars Snacking actually needs from a bio-based color supplier before it can go on a label that reaches billions of consumers.

The session runs May 7 from 3:30-4:15 PM in the Planetary Health track.
