BioP2P’s Matt Gardner to Speak at SynBioBeta Global Synthetic Biology Conference
April 30 2024 - 11:15AM
Matt Gardner, Board President of the California Biomanufacturing
Center and Chair of the BioProcess to Product Network (BioP2P), is
scheduled to speak at the 2024 SynBioBeta Global Biology
Conference. Gardner's Lightning Talk titled “Seeing Alternative
Investors as Growth Partners” will take place at 11 a.m. on
Wednesday, May 8, on the main stage at the San Jose Convention
Center. He will discuss the BioP2P Network's efforts to expedite
the transition of biomanufacturers from pilot to commercial scale
manufacturing.
“Biomanufacturing has the potential to revolutionize production
methods and tackle global challenges such as resource limitations,
climate change, and sustainability,” Gardner stated. “However, the
lack of adequate biomanufacturing facilities that allow companies
to scale up processes and move into commercial production remains a
significant obstacle. Addressing this issue will hasten the
transformation.”
A key focus of the BioP2P Network has been the development of
the BioP2P directory, an online resource available at no cost,
aimed at assisting companies in locating facilities with available
biomanufacturing capacity in the United States. The BioP2P
directory (https://biomanufacturing.net/directory/) serves as a
platform for connecting non-biomedical technology developers with
providers offering manufacturing capacity to aid them in scaling
toward commercial production.
As part of the SynBioBeta conference, the BioP2P Network will
sponsor a Lightning Talk on the Main Stage, providing attendees
with the opportunity to engage with organization staff and learn
more about the BioP2P directory. Representatives of facilities
equipped for scale-up operations are encouraged to visit Booth #124
to undergo required interviews for inclusion in the database at no
charge.
Currently, the directory contains detailed information on 78
biomanufacturing sites with toll capacity. In a recent survey of
BioP2P users, 97 percent rated the directory as good or better than
other resources, with one in six users proceeding to contact a
facility listed in the directory.
Praise for the BioP2P directory includes one respondent noting
it as "more detailed and useful than other resources," while
another commended its "quality of information, up-to-dateness, and
the confidence that the information is comprehensive."
The BioP2P Network remains committed to furnishing high-quality,
verified information at no cost in support of companies scaling up
production.
About the BioP2P Network: The BioProcess to Product Network
(BioP2P) is a nationwide initiative of the California
Biomanufacturing Center, supported by Schmidt Sciences. The
California Biomanufacturing Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization, is dedicated to industry development, workforce
training, and support. Its mission includes identifying capacity
and assisting biomanufacturers in expediting the process of
expanding biomanufacturing from pilot to commercial scale. For more
