Pow.Bio

Brief Description

Pow.Bio provides intelligent fermentation services for industrial and synthetic biology. The company has built an AI platform that rapidly identified better-performing process conditions, increasing output 2–3x from existing infrastructure within just 100 days. The company's services combine continuous fermentation with advanced control methodology to quickly optimize the fermentation process and deliver high yields at low cost. The scale runs from 1-100 liter capacity for bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi. The first-of-its-kind fermentation technology solves the...

Neomorphic Software

Brief Description

Neomorphic uses proprietary software algorithms and computing infrastructure to analyze, assemble and annotate genomic and expressed gene sequence data. Neomorphic's bioinformatics capabilities have been demonstrated in several scientific settings, including the Drosophila annotation jamboree sponsored by Celera Genomics, and the Genome Annotation Assessment Project. Through these efforts, Neomorphic demonstrated that its tools are the most accurate at identifying genes and other regulatory regions within genomic sequence. Neomorphic's work with its collaborators on...

Namuh

Brief Description Namuh is on a mission to close the nutritional gap between infant formula and human milk. The company provides parents with infant nutrition closest to breast milk at the molecular level, using only clean and thoughtfully-sourced human milk ingredients so parents can nourish their babies with confidence. This is made possible by NAMUH’s proprietary yeast-based technology to create human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), the critical missing ingredient, structurally identical to those found in breast milk. Powered by the clean HMOs and partnerships with premium protein/lipid...

Molecular Dynamics

Brief Description

The development of high speed, high throughput and highly accurate DNA sequencing methods was one prerequisite for the success of the Human Genome Project. In answer to this need, Richard Mathies and his lab at UC Berkeley developed a new method called capillary array electrophoresis (CAE) where multiple separations could be performed in parallel using bundles of microcapillaries and allowed the generation of over 2.8 million bases in 24 h.

Molecular Dynamics was acquired by Nycomed Amersham Pharmacia Biotech for approximately $256 million in 1998. Amersham was...

Microreactor Technologies

Brief Description

Developer of miniature bioreactor technology platforms. The company offers improved cell fermentation and cultivation productivity services. It develops and operates Micro-24, fermentation and cell culture system which runs up to 24 simultaneous experiments with independent control of each reactor's gas supply, temperature, and pH.

Microreactor Technologies, Inc. was acquired by Pall Corporation (NYSE: PLL), a global leader in filtration, separation and purification, in 2010.
