There is something for everybody at the 2026 BioMADE Member Meeting! With sessions designed for technical teams, data enthusiasts, trends-watchers and expert networkers, this is where the future of the field takes shape. Register now:

The 2026 BioMADE Member Meeting is gearing up for two days of powerful sessions designed to spark innovation, tackle big challenges, and accelerate U.S. biomanufacturing capabilities. Register now and let's build the future of biomanufacturing together:

RT @schmidtsciences: Most bioreactors scale up. @CapraBio's scales out. With modular continuous-flow design, floating wireless sensors, and real-time precision, their bioreactor is built for faster and smarter chemical production. With @TheBioMADE via the Bioreactor Innovation Project.

BioMADE is pleased to announce its plans to establish and operate a new pilot-scale bioindustrial manufacturing facility near Ames, Iowa:

RT @MFGUSA: #ModernMaker Gözde Şenel-Ayaz, President + co-founder of @TandemRepeatInc, @theBioMADE member, works @ the intersection of biology, sustainability & innovation🧬 W/ a background in bioengineering, her work in the textile space is anything but conventional.

RT @IowaStateUNews: See how Iowa State engineers are advancing the Bioreactor Innovation Project launched by @schmidtsciences and @TheBioMADE. Microbes inside bioreactors produce chemicals, fuels, medicines and more for our everyday use. 📹 @ISU_CoE

RT @schmidtsciences: What if a bioreactor could think for itself? At @IowaStateU, Nigel Reuel’s team built a self-driving system using AI, low-cost reactors, and real-time sensors to maximize bioreactor production with no human input. Collab with @TheBioMADE via the Bioreactor Innovation Project.

RT @schmidtsciences: Bioreactors power the bioeconomy, but their design hasn’t kept up with modern manufacturing needs. Schmidt Sciences and @TheBioMADE backed bold bioreactor upgrades—AI control, smarter mixing, and modular builds—to help make biomanufacturing more efficient:

Through this BioMADE project, members @Checkerspot_ and @ucdavis developed new tools to predict performance of fermentation processes at a larger scale, which can help companies save significant time and capital:

Over 280 high school students around the country built the foundational skills needed for a career in biotechnology and biomanufacturing through this BioMADE project with @SystemsSally, @ArsBiotechnica, @etsu, and @ArborBio:

BioMADE is pleased to announce Owen Barwell as its Chief Financial Officer. Barwell brings over 35 years of experience spanning the federal, public, and private sectors across the energy, professional services, aerospace, commercial real estate, and more:

Member @Amyris de-risked the production of many commercially important bio-based products using a novel in-situ product removal (ISPR) technique in a 20-liter bioreactor. Learn about the next steps of this BioMADE project:

Through a BioMADE project, members @SuperbrewedFood and @LockheedMartin teamed up to produce and characterize novel bio-derived magnetic nanoparticles that are suitable for a wide range of applications including advanced electronics, batteries, and more:

Through this BioMADE project, members @bluestembio and @biofuelresearch created an open-source code base that simplifies the techno-economic analysis for anaerobic biomanufacturing processes:

RT @MFGUSA: Talk about momentum! In the past few weeks, our @MFGUSA institutes have announced: 📽️ New videos 🏗️ New facilities 💸 New funding opps. 💻 New websites Check out the latest updates from @AmericaMakes, @TheBioMADE, #SMARTUSA and more in our May newsletter:

Last week, BioMADE announced an agreement with Lygos to transition its biomanufacturing infrastructure into a nationally available, multi-user facility. Learn more about BioMADE’s plan independently operate the 25,000 square foot pilot-scale facility:

BioMADE recently announced a $132M investment in biomanufacturing infrastructure in Maple Grove, MN. This facility will allow companies of all shapes and sizes to take their processes to the next level, and establish the U.S. as a leader in biotechnology:

RT @StarTribune: Nonprofit BioMADE picks Maple Grove for its $132M flagship plant
