Episode 37 of the Coworking Chronicles has us traveling to visit The Engine, Part 3..
The Engine is an incubator & accelerator supporting Tough Tech, the transformational science and engineering that solves the world’s most important challenges.
We caught up with Ross Davis Beighley from Evoworks Bio, Gizem Gumuskaya, PhD from Morphitectica, and Scott Snelling, PE from Roebling Labs on this segment..
🧪 Ross Davis Beighley and the team at Evoworks Bio are building an all-in-one bio-manufacturing platform that works in the lab and is ready for mass distribution the next day, helping solve distribution bottlenecks like we faced during COVID
🧱 Gizem Gumuskaya, PhD at Morphitectica is combining synthetic biology and architecture to create self-constructing living materials. Think: plant a capsule, grow a brick. No molds, no heavy machinery, no massive carbon footprint.
🌉 Scott Snelling, PE at Roebling Labs is protecting vulnerable bridges from vessel collisions, the exact problem behind the Francis Scott Key disaster. The NTSB flagged 46 bridges nationally as at-risk. Scott’s working hardware and software prototype is already deployed in the field.
🏗️ Where are these companies right now? 🏗️
🧪 Evoworks Bio is actively looking to partner with academics and anyone using flasks to make proteins. Their team can help you scale!
They’re watching Drul (oral diagnostics) and Precision Chromatography Limited (chromatography tech, based in New Zealand).
🧱 Morphitectica is raising patient capital for a moonshot that needs committed, technical believers.
Gizem is watching Ecovative, Biomason (biogenic building materials) and Foray Bioscience (tree products/deforestation) based at The Engine
🌉 Roebling Labs is in the critical transition from working prototype to a certified life safety system.
Scott is watching Omnic.AI, their founder Shaun Meredith has been a critical advisor to the company
The winter tour continues with MGMT Boston. More from The Engine coming in the weeks ahead!
