Abstract

The workshop on Advancing Cell-free Manufacturing: Challenges in Scale-up and Automation sought to identify and prioritize actionable steps towards more reproducible, scalable, and automated cell-free systems for applications in bioengineering and biomanufacturing. Discussion topics highlighted the needs of both start-ups and established industry stakeholders working to bring a tool or product to market. Working groups were convened to address challenges in quality control for cell-free lysates, reagent characterization, analytical measurements and standards needs, and the role of automation for optimization and scale-up. This workshop report summarizes the information gathered at this workshop and seeks to inform future efforts in cell-free manufacturing, as well as the broader establishment of metrics to enable the rapid growth and success of cell-free expression systems for the US and global bioeconomies.
