FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Scarborough, Ontario, Canada – June 26, 2024 – Dr. Kweku Opoku-Agyemang, founder of Development Economics X Corporation recently received a bounty award from the Astera Institute. Opoku-Agyemang has proposed an innovative framework for scaling synthetic biological innovations for social and economic impact.
In developing and developed countries alike, the need for scalable and flexible fermentation systems abound, with product and policy implications. The proposal was for a modular system that can accommodate synthetic biological applications to ensure optimal product yields and growth environments.
Opoku-Agyemang said “the idea is to help manufacturers in pharmaceutical industries and others to achieve scale, and for the same to be achieved across the board. Many sectors benefit directly and indirectly from biological innovations, which will be critical for the next generation.”
This modular approach promises to revolutionize the scalability of synthetic biology solutions, enabling manufacturers to adapt quickly to new organisms and products. It also paves the way for a smoother transition from research and development to commercial production.
Opoku-Agyemang’s idea has the potential to benefit a wide array of applications, from pharmaceuticals to biofuels, contributing to the advancement of sustainable and eco-friendly products.
