🚨 BREAKING: @HHSGov just put $17M behind a Virginia startup that thinks everyone else is onshoring drug manufacturing wrong. Americans take Tylenol 25 billion times a year. China makes roughly 70% of the acetaminophen we import. I sat down with the founders. 🧵 1/8

Big news from Capra: with expanded support from HHS ASPR, we’re advancing domestic production of seven essential APIs using our modular, continuous biomanufacturing platform—building more flexible and resilient pharmaceutical manufacturing in the U.S. caprabiosciences.com/press/hhs-cont…
Could ‘chickpea-sized’ biosensors make biomanufacturing more cost competitive? @CapraBio #precisionfermentation agfundernews.com/could-chickpea…
We're excited to announce Capra's new bioproduced salicylic acid launching today at the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists Supplier's Day! Capra's salicylic acid is a 100% bio-based, highly effective, and sustainable form of salicylic acid. #cleanbeauty #madewithbio #nyscc
This year's SynBioBeta conference was fantastic! Here are some pictures from some of our favorite moments represented during the panels DAMP's Doug Densmore and BU Professor Rabia Tugce Yazicigil spoke at. Also featuring some @CapraBio members!
DAMP's Douglas Densmore and BU Professor Rabia Yazicigil Kirby are representing at SynBioBeta this week! Pictured are Michael Clear from Schmidt Sciences, Andrew from @CapraBio (who we work closely with on eVOLVERs), and Alex from @MITREcorp
🦠 Biofilms are incredibly robust. This makes them a great system to biomanufacture materials. It also makes them versatile structures for creating functional materials. For @SynBioBeta, I wrote about biofilms in biomanufacturing and advanced materials. synbiobeta.com/read/harnessin…
Today was an exciting day at @CapraBio - Forklift training day. Maybe not what you’d expect for a biotech startup, but an important part of building our physical manufacturing infrastructure!
Beauty and personal care products are getting a makeover! Learn how members @CurieCo, @CapraBio, and @MangoMaterials are bringing sustainable packaging and bioproducts into the emerging eco-friendly industry: buff.ly/3OPUkIk
Inspired after 2 days of insights & visionary talks by the likes of @MichaelKoepke80 @LanzaTech, Liz Onderko @CapraBio & many others. As a materials scientist, I'm excited about the future of #biomaterials & can't wait to write about the @Biofabricate_ 2024 Summit for @SynBioBeta
Very excited to receive our first Ansamers! We had two sequences synthesized that couldn't be made by traditional DNA providers. The future of DNA is enzymatic! @AnsaBio
"BioMADE funding really enables us to focus on scaling and optimizing our bioreactor technology, which will allow us to more rapidly scale new products we are developing." More from member @CapraBio on their BioMADE project: buff.ly/3DXafPd
Excited to have my work published in @growbyginkgo, the magazine that inspired me to dive into science writing career. Read to learn how organizations like @TheBioMADE and @CapraBio have been revitalizing the efforts to develop new types of bioreactors:
The bioreactor was designed for the chemistry industry. What if we redesigned it with biology in mind? Read it here: growbyginkgo.com/2023/07/11/rei… 🧫Written by @TarasavaKatia with illustrations by Tanya Komlyk✨
Investing in our bioeconomy = investing in American workers who will unlock sustainable solutions across industries. Today, the Biden-Harris Administration released a plan for more Americans to join the growing biotechnology & biomanufacturing workforce. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…
Excited to have our @TheBioMADE program manager David Nathan visiting Capra in person! He's getting to see bioreactor advancements funded by BioMADE happening in real time today!
#DYK that rotting fruits & vegetables can fuel bioreactors and revolutionize industry while cutting carbon emissions? 🍎🌿 Engineers and researchers are harnessing the power of decaying food to create medicines, materials, fuels, & more. 🌍 🧵⬇️ (1/5)
“A future where consumers don’t have to make a choice between buying the sustainable product and the cheaper product is one that we’re really excited to be building,” more from @CapraBio: buff.ly/3ClTzjj
Member @CapraBio uses biology to turn carbon sources into the chemicals, such as retinol, used in everyday consumer and commercial products. Read how they are changing the way we can create these chemicals: buff.ly/3ClTzjj
