NSF BioPACIFIC MIP

BioPolymers, Automated Cellular Infrastructure, Flow, and Integrated Chemistry Materials Innovation Platform (BioPACIFIC MIP) is a platform dedicated to scalable production of bio-derived building blocks and polymers from yeast, fungi, and bacteria. Automated high-throughput synthesis and characterization of bio-derived polymers aims to accelerate discovery and speed development of new high-performance materials.

Access to the BioPACIFIC MIP is open to all researchers through a competitive, peer-reviewed proposal process. The BioPACIFIC MIP enables access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and expert staff devoted to high-throughput and automated synthetic biology, materials synthesis, and characterization at no-cost, alongside engagement and networking with a National community of biomaterials researchers.
