Biological and Nanoscale

Our core capabilities are soft material research, development, and technology transition spanning across multiple fields including: organic synthesis, synthetic biology, microbial contaminations, functional additive manufacturing, flexible hybrid electronics, and machine learning and optimization. Our scientists contribute to: nanomaterial production and scale-up, biostabilization, better understanding of microbial contamination of materials and its mitigation, flexible materials development, sweat and water-based biological sensing approaches, functional additive manufacturing, high throughput biological analysis, and autonomous experimentation. The factories of the future will be powered by bio-inspired materials and we are developing new frontiers in bioprocessing and novel biomaterials, able to deploy in challenging environments.
