PFASense: Fast, In-Field Testing for Forever Chemicals
PFASense is a next-generation diagnostic tool designed to detect toxic ‘forever chemicals’ directly at the source. By combining engineered protein sensors with a portable electrochemical device, it enables real-time, low-cost monitoring of water supplies—providing actionable insights to protect health and guide remediation. -
Lactation Biologics: Increasing Milk Production for Healthier Babies
Lactation Biologics is developing a long-lasting, self-injectable treatment to help nursing mothers feed their babies naturally, helping them get the best nutrition possible in the face of climate disasters and supply chain disruptions. -
Pancreatitis Tx: An Engineered Protein Treatment for Pancreatitis
First disease-modifying therapy that can be systemically applied to safely and effectively treat patients with different forms of pancreatitis. -
Circe: Transforming greenhouse gases into valuable products with microbes
Circe Bioscience is using gas fermentation to produce valuable materials including fats, oils, and fuels from greenhouse gases using engineered microbes. -
Targeted EPO: Safely Normalizing Oxygen Delivery in a Broad Range of Disease Conditions
General Biologics commercializes Targeted EPO as a first-in-class fusion protein therapeutic for the treatment of life-threatening and limiting hypoxia in various disease conditions, including COPD, cystic fibrosis, COVID-19, and severe anemias, such as in patients with kidney failure. -
Bioplastics
Humans have produced roughly 8,300 million metric tons of plastic since the 1950s, the vast majority of which has been thrown out as waste. Only about 9% of that plastic waste has been recycled and 12% has been incinerated, leaving 79% of it to accumulate on our land and oceans, harming the environment, the food...

Video/AnimationThe Game-Changing Potential of mRNA VaccinesPromising mRNA vaccines years ago emerged from early-stage development, only to stall before proving themselves in clinical trials. Pushed by pandemic urgency across the notorious “Valley of Death,” this platform vastly exceeded expectations and is now poised to transform the vaccine R&D landscape. During the early months of the historic rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, Sabin’s... -
Video/AnimationCirce: Using Microbes to Make Biodegradable ProductsCurrent manufacturing methods release harmful greenhouse gases and pollution, and many of the products produced do not biodegrade, damaging our ecosystems even further. What if we could turn greenhouse gases into biodegradable products? Researchers at the Wyss Institute are using synthetic biology to make this a reality.
