Active Projects
-
This project will evaluate the operational performance of aquatic-based biopesticides to support innovation across the bioindustrial manufacturing network. This will address a persistent challenge in the bioeconomy: the lack of reliable, product-specific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data needed to assess and improve efficiency in bio-based product development. Learn more here.
Members: Boundless Impact Research & Analytics; Invasive Species Corporation
-
This project will improve domestic bioindustrial manufacturing outcomes and increase its competitiveness through enhanced Life Cycle Assessments (LCA). Learn more here.
Member: Checkerspot
-
This project will investigate the intersection of bioindustrial manufacturing and public opinion. Learn more here.
Members: University of Georgia, Tandem Repeat
-
In order to better inform policy and regulatory efforts, this project will analyze the security and safety implications of biomanufacturing using cell-free systems-based solutions. Learn more here.
Members: University of Minnesota, Georgia Tech
Completed Projects
-
This project will identify areas of action for the U.S. Government and BioMADE leadership to integrate 4S principles (regarding safety, security, sustainability, and social responsibility) into the BioMADE mission. Learn more here.
Members: Johns Hopkins University, Ginkgo Bioworks

Bluestem Biosciences and the National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center (NCERC) worked to boost the bioeconomy of the Midwest by identifying promising commercial opportunities for anaerobic fermentation technology. Through this project, researchers built BlueSTEAM, an open-source code base that simplifies the techno-economic analysis for anaerobic biomanufacturing processes.
