Built with Biology: SpacesNeubase TherapeuticsAlmost every human disease is driven by genetics. So what if we could cure every genetic disease, from Alzheimer's to cancer?
These may sound like lofty aspirations. But the team at Neubase Therapeutics has developed a method for temporarily modifying disease-causing genes without permanently altering the genome. The backbone of Neubase's technology is also highly adaptable. If successful, the company could only need to make small tweaks to develop a brand new therapy, avoiding years of difficult and expensive clinical trials.
Tune in to hear more about Neubase's cutting-edge approach and much more!

2021-09-2257 minBuilt with Biology: SpacesWild Earth: Ryan BethencourtGoing plant-based is one of the best things we can do for the health of our planet. But what about our pets? In the United States, pet food is responsible for 25-30% of the meat industry's environmental footprint. How can we reduce this negative impact while giving our beloved pets the best nutrition?
Meet Wild Earth, a company feeding pets sustainably with fermented koji, veterinary insight, cell culture, and most importantly, a love of animals! Did you know dogs are omnivores? Did you know you could soon have cell culture chicken for your cats? Tune in to...
2021-09-1644 minBuilt with Biology: SpacesCemvita Factory: Tara Karimi and Moji KarimiToday, CO2 emissions from heavy industries are poisoning our atmosphere and causing climate change. But what if we could capture those CO2 emissions and transform them into valuable products using microbes?
That's exactly what the team at Cemvita Factory is doing! Based in Houston, the company has engineering microbes to turn carbon into useful products like bioethylene, just like how plants turn CO2 into oxygen through photosynthesis.
Tune in to hear from Cemvita's founders about how we can use CO2 as a feedstock in our energy transition to Net Zero.

2021-09-1035 minBuilt with Biology: SpacesCatalog: Tracy KambaraHumans have been storing information since the Stone Age. And surprisingly, forms of data storage like painting or rock carving have lasted for millennia. The same cannot be said for more modern methods like cassettes and CDs. How can we store our data for the next millennia if our storage systems have shrinking functional lifespans?
Meet CATALOG, a company working to archive human data in DNA. DNA is one of the most stable molecules we know of and it has a language we can program. Hear how data is stored in DNA, what it takes to fit...
2021-09-0137 minBuilt with Biology: SpacesPhytolon: Halim Jubran and Tal ZeltzerCandies, cakes, salad dressing, plant-based meats, butter; all these foods and so many more contain food coloring. Food coloring traditionally came from plants but today it comes from petrochemicals.
But now, the bioengineering company Phytolon has found a new way to make food colorings sustainably--and affordably!--using microbes!
Hear from Phytolon's founders about the science behind their breakthrough, how fabrics could be dyed with the same method, and how starting a company in Israel as Jewish and Arab co-founders is bringing communities and families together.

Built with Biology: PodcastWhy Should Everyone Care About Biosecurity?Biology is reshaping our future, from our medicines to our food, fuels, homes, and even clothes.
But the power to engineer and re-design biology comes with significant responsibility.
How can we ensure the bio-engineering tools aren't misused or create accidentally harmful materials? How can we ensure workers, our society, and our planet are all protected?
In our inaugural Built with Biology Podcast episode, host Fiona Mischel speaks with James Diggans, Head of Biosecurity at Twist Bioscience. What is biosecurity, why does it matter, and how it could impact your day-to-day life? Get all...
2021-08-2437 minBuilt with Biology: SpacesSolugen: Gaurab Chakrabarti and Sean HuntChemicals are fundamental in modern society, from the stability of our infrastructures and the safety of our water. But most of these critical materials typically come from petrochemical sources. Now Solugen, a biochemicals company using cell-free enzyme manufacturing, has made the world's first carbon-negative chemical plant for key water treatment ingredients.
Hear how the company has taken over an old petrochemical manufacturing plant in Texas, literally transforming the unsustainable methods of the past into the sustainable--and more cost-effective--methods of the future.

These ingredients, which come from the leftovers of pig and cow slaughter for meat, are extremely useful but are currently not sustainable and are often unsafe for workers processing them.
Enter Jellatech, the first company in the world making these incredible ingredients using cellular agriculture. Hear Jellatech co-founder and CEO Stephanie Michelsen explore the science, opportunities, and teeny tiny cell-based gummy bears...

2021-07-151h 02Built with Biology: SpacesNautilus: Parag MallickWe spend a lot of time about DNA and the genome, all the genetic material in a living organism. But what about all the proteins? More unique and complex than DNA, proteins control much of how our bodies function and act as targets for therapeutics. Until recently, studying the proteome (all the proteins in an organism) was extremely difficult. Hear Parag Mallick from Nautilus tell the story of why everything may be about to change.
