About this episode
While many people think of biotechnology in terms of its impact on medicine, it’s expected to transform the economy as its power reaches across industries. As biology increasingly becomes an engineering discipline, it is not only reshaping the way we produce food, but a wide range of industrial products as well. Bio-based processes are replacing petroleum-based ones and giving life to new biomaterials, bioplastics, and biofuels. As the SynBioBeta Global Synthetic Biology Conference returns to Oakland, California May 23 to May 25, we spoke to SynBioBeta Founder and CEO John Cumbers, about the state of the emerging bioeconomy, how biotechnology is being embraced across industries, and the unexpected places biotechnology is already showing up.
