Take a look back at our most exciting stories and accomplishments from 2022.
Bacteria for blastoff
Who’s up for some eco-friendly space travel? ABPDU researchers contributed to the development of a new type of fuel that could be used for all types of vehicles, including rockets. Read the story.
Sweet scale-up
We collaborated with Joywell Foods (now known as Oobli) to scale up production of their sweet proteins and optimize their process for commercialization readiness. Read the story.
Celebrating our alumni
We’re always inspired by the success of our alumni. This year, we learned about Fre Tachea and how she thinks biomanufacturing is the future, Stephen Hubbard’s passion for growing the bioeconomy, and Ace Aguilar’s desire to use his experience navigating STEM to help other students. Read all of our alumni highlights.
New resources for the biomanufacturing community
We continue to build our library of video standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the biomanufacturing community, most recently adding our video on high-performance liquid chromatography. Watch all our video SOPs.
Continuing to build the bioeconomy workforce
We welcomed students from UC Berkeley’s Advanced Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory course for the second year. As a part of this course, students spend time at ABPDU to get hands-on experience in the lab with bioprocessing equipment. See photos from the course.
