InBio 2025 – Advancing Protein-Semiconductor Composite Biomanufacturing

We are happy to invite you to InBio 2025, an open roundtable meetup focused on building a roadmap towards biomanufacturing designed protein-semiconductor composites in microbial factories.

The broader vision is to establish a new method to biofabricate advanced electronics directly from mining waste, e-waste and other circular inputs, leveraging the spectacular current progress in protein design.

This full-day workshop aims to lay the foundations for a roadmap, and will bring together researchers and industry experts to explore key challenges and opportunities in:

1. Circular resources – Mining, industrial spillage, and e-waste.
2. Engineering microbial factories – Scalable approaches for composite biomanufacturing.
3. Protein design – Developing functional protein-semiconductor materials.
4. Applications & low-hanging fruits – Identifying near-term opportunities for impact.

The event will feature experts in protein design from the Baker lab (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024) alongside leading experts from academia and industry in the areas of semiconductors and recycling. The format will be interactive, fostering collaboration and actionable insights.

Participation is free, but seats are limited. If you’re interested in attending, please register at https://www.inbio.design/ 

The workshop is organized in the context of within InBio – Fabrication of advanced electronics in microbial factories,  a pre-study financed by Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova as part of their “Moonshots through synthetic biology” program. 

Looking forward to see you there!

Best regards,
