Partner Biofoundries
NSF iBioFoundry
The NSF Illinois Biofoundry (iBioFoundry) is located at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, USA. dedicated to developing new capabilities for biofoundries through an integrated and synergistic in-house research program and community-engaged user program and providing the broader research community with unrestricted access to the research resources, training, and education activities developed in the center.
Agile BioFoundry
The Agile BioFoundry is a consortium of seven U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories that operate as a distributed biofoundry in collaboration with industry and academia. Funded by DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), their work supports BETO’s goals to advance the industrial production of fuels and chemicals.
Korea National Biofoundry
The Korean National Biofoundry aims to build a resilient, integrated biomanufacturing platform that empowers researchers across both public and private sectors. By continuously advancing bio-manufacturing capabilities centered on the biofoundry model, this center wants to drive transformative innovation and lead the evolution of the global bioeconomy.
The London Biofoundry
The London Biofoundry is located at the Innovation and Translation Hub on the White City campus of Imperial College, and specializes in the design, engineering and functional characterization of synthetic DNA and organisms with academic collaborators and industrial clients.
NIST Living Measurement Systems Foundry
The goal of the NIST Living Measurement Systems Foundry, located in Maryland, USA, is to enable the engineering of cells for reliable and safe use in dynamic and unpredictable environments for applications such as living therapeutics, environmental sensing, and structured materials fabrication.
Kobe BioFoundry
The Engineering Biology Research Center (EGBRC), Japan, has been creating an international innovation hub for engineering biology through industry-university-government collaboration. In 2022, the EGBRC started the international joint research project, ‘Development of the next-generation bio-foundry through interdisciplinary co-creation’.
FinBioFAB
FinBioFAB, the Finnish BioFoundry for Advanced Biomanufacturing, is a pioneering initiative aimed at revolutionizing biomanufacturing. Collaborating with global biofoundries and Finnish industry leaders, the project seeks to harness the power of synthetic biology and AI to create efficient cell factories. These factories will produce biodegradable plastics and protein-based materials for various industries, contributing to a greener economy.
