🚨 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

🦠 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/harnessi…

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?
