SUMMARY:The Future of Biomanufacturing: New Manufacturing for the Bioeconom
 y (IMSE Grad Seminar Series)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Biomanufacturing is central to a projected $1T U.S. bioeconomy\
 , yet our ability to make biologically enabled products lags our ability t
 o design them. In this talk\, I’ll describe how MIT’s Initiative for N
 ew Manufacturing (MIT INM) is seeking to transform manufacturing across th
 e nation and some lessons learned so far. I will then focus on how we are 
 rethinking biomanufacturing to expand the industry's infrastructure: small
 er\, modular\, and continuous facilities\; standardized\, platform process
 es across product classes\; and AI-enabled design and operations.&nbsp\; I
 ’ll highlight why we should think differently to build distributed\, res
 ilient capacity that shortens the time from idea to impact\, strengthens s
 upply chains\, and creates high-quality jobs in the next-generation bioeco
 nomy.\n\nMore information at: https://chemurgy.vpresearch.iastate.edu/even
