Exozymes Inc. has been selected as a core industry partner in the Meta-PURE initiative, a $9.2 million project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFIRE program. The initiative, led by Georgia Tech and involving a coalition of top academic and industry groups, aims to advance modular cell-free biomanufacturing. Exozymes Inc. will receive a $3 million share of the funding to develop a cell-free ATP-generating module, which will serve as a power plant for various chemical production modules. The company's involvement also includes creating a production module for santalene, a high-value fragrance compound. The project emphasizes the development of standardized, interoperable modules for diverse applications, enhancing the scalability and accessibility of cell-free systems.
