SBIR-involved as Culture Robotics Inc, the firm - also dba as Culture Biosciences - develops automation tools for fermentation. The firm's founder was a researcher at MIT's Mediated Matter group where his research focused on 3D printing fluidic systems and their applications in biotechnology and product design. Management's defning theme is to make biomanufacturing a digital experience: having bioreactors running much like running code in a data center. Built from the ground up by integrating automated bioreactors, robotic sample handling, and cloud data monitoring and analysis, the firm has developed a digital biomanufacturing platform thatis designed to enable scientists to run, monitor and analyze bioreactors faster and more conveniently than traditional approaches.
