Utah State Opens Bio-products Scale-Up Facility

Utah State University (USU) has opened a Bioproducts Scale-Up Facility on its Innovation Campus. Funding for the facility came from the Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR) initiative.

“Within this new, state-of-the-art facility, Utah State will begin the process of producing synthetic spider silk and other biosynthetic materials in quantities that have not yet been achieved, which will enable commercial partners to take advantage of years of USU faculty research on new biomaterials that can be used for a variety of applications,” said H. Scott Hinton, director, USTAR Synthetic Biomanufacturing Institute at Utah State.
