Accelerating Synthetic Biology Through AI/ML & Automation

The NSF Illinois biofoundry (iBioFoundry) aims to develop research infrastructure integrating AI/ML, robotic automation, and synthetic biology to democratize access to high-throughput autonomous experimentation.

Transforming How We Engineer Biology

Biotechnology is often bottlenecked by slow, expensive, and manual processes. At iBioFoundry, we are establishing an autonomous laboratory platform by integrating synthetic biology, AI/ML, and robotics to tackle these challenges.

Through our synergistic research programs and community-driven user programs, we provide state-of-the-art resources and training necessary to accelerate the discovery of everything from sustainable chemicals to advanced medical treatments for researchers nationwide.

Training the next generation of biotechnology leaders to shape the future of the bioeconomy.
