This opportunity funds research to develop and optimize cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) platforms for discovery and production of biologicals such as antibody fragments, antigens, and enzymes. Projects should focus on scalable, flexible CFPS systems, including mammalian cell lysates, to enable streamlined manufacturing, decentralized production, and personalized medicines. The initiative supports advances leveraging synthetic biology and AI to improve efficiency, quality control, and accessibility of biopharmaceuticals.
