CASA-Bio Workshops and June Research Development & Grant Writing Newsletter

Catalyzing Across Sectors to Advance the Bioeconomy (CASA-Bio) Workshops

Catalyzing Across Sectors to Advance the Bioeconomy (CASA-Bio) is a collaborative initiative inspired by the Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy. CASA-Bio is hosting six interactive workshops designed to propel the bioeconomy forward. The workshops will focus on specific research and development challenges and opportunities for the bioeconomy, bringing together experts from academia, industry, and government. The six workshop topics are:

  • Personalized health and medicine for vaccine and biologics delivery
  • Accelerated breeding for crops and animals
  • Creating value from waste carbon for a circular bioeconomy
  • Enabling resilient bio-based supply chains
  • Food protein diversification
  • Improving carbon and energy efficiency of biomanufacturing

Each workshop will include participants selected from open applications from the community and suggested by CASA-Bio organizations, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives and expertise. During the workshops strategies will be developed that leverage fundamental, use-inspired, and translational research to drive innovation and advance the bioeconomy.

Each workshop will be fully virtual and take place over two days in July or August.

Apply to particiapte and sign up for a workshop relevant to your work to help outline a future for the topic.
