Foundries

The foundries are shared pre-incubation spaces that house equipment to align experimentation, validation, optimization, and scale-up for our Q residents.

About the Foundries

Center for Synthetic Biology Biofoundry

The Center for Synthetic Biology Biofoundry, located on the 5^th floor of 1801 Maple Ave, arms academic research laboratories and synthetic biology startups with state-of-the-art liquid-handling robotics, high-throughput screening systems, and biological characterization platforms to enable rapid and efficient experimentation and accelerate new discoveries.

The Biofoundry’s capabilities range from molecular biology and protein and particle analysis to cell-free expression systems and bioprocess engineering, allowing for comprehensive biological synthesis and characterization. Its pilot-scale production infrastructure bridges the gap between laboratory research and industrial application, facilitating the scalable manufacturing of bio-based products. Visit the SCB Biofoundry website for a list of equipment available in the space.
