Our Initiatives

• Cloud Biofoundry Automated biofoundries integrate various instruments, robotic systems, and complex scheduling software, which requires extensive expertise to operate effectively. To broaden access, we aim to develop a cloud-based, platform-agnostic framework that allows users to create and implement workflows without needing detailed instrument knowledge.
• Professional Development Workshops, seminars, and leadership development programs for students and postdocs designed to build both technical skills and career readiness.
• Broadening Participation Initiatives to broaden access to synthetic biology through the Cloud and Digital BioFoundry platforms, enabling scalable outreach, remote education, and interaction with cutting-edge technologies.
• Industrial Partnerships Collaboration with industry to provide real-world experience, knowledge sharing, and workforce development opportunities.
• Annual Summer School A week-long intensive program on biofoundry technologies and applications, providing hands-on training with state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies.
• Annual Meeting on Biofoundries and AI/ML at ACS A dedicated session for biofoundries and related technology at the ACS annual meeting, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange across the research community.
