The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain) joins the Global Biofoundries Alliance. This new initiative will strengthen international collaboration on efficient design and construction of cell factories.
To enable global coordination and gain more visibility in the area of construction of cell factories, 16 non-commercial biofoundries from all across the world have formed a Global Biofoundries Alliance (GBA). The alliance was officially launched at a kick-off meeting in Kobe, Japan, 9 May, and the concept is described in a simultaneous publication by the founding members of the alliance in the journal Nature Communications.
