Our Collaborations
Scaling Up a Low-Carbon Footprint Acrylic Acid Precursor
with Industrial Microbes
The collaboration achieved a 300-liter scale production of a precursor to acrylic acid, widely used across the consumer product industry.
Pathways to Sustainable Palm Kernel Oil Alternatives
with C16 Biosciences
The collaboration resulted in the demonstration of novel metabolic routes to produce lipids containing mid-chain fatty acids as an alternative to palm kernel oil.
Scaling up Sustainable Bioproducts
with Lygos
The teams created a workflow that provides a faster and more powerful way to process data, accelerating the Design-Build-Test-Learn framework.
A Bright Idea for Plastic Upcycling
with University of Georgia
The work lays the foundation for a more sustainable future for terephthalic acid, a widely-used commodity chemical.
“At a time when bio-based products are seeing growing traction, the support from the ABF and ABPDU helped us get ahead of the curve.”
Noah Helman, Industrial Microbes
Producing High-Value Chemicals from Renewable Sources
with Visolis
The teams developed a system that could produce promising amounts of Visolis’ platform molecule.
Analytical Workflow Accelerates Biomanufacturing Research
with Agilent Research Laboratories
The teams created a workflow that provides a faster and more powerful way to process data, accelerating the Design-Build-Test-Learn framework.
Machine Learning Opens New Doors in Bioproduct Development
with Lygos
The work provided Lygos with actionable recommendations to increase strain performance.
“I wouldn’t be able to develop a bioproduct on my own, but what I can do is talk to other scientists who have the skills and resources necessary to do this work that has both scientific merit and biotechnology applications.”
