What are bioalternatives? They are more sustainable versions of molecules traditionally sourced through environmentally harmful means, such as petrochemical or agricultural extraction. With the potential to be used in everyday products, from flavors and aromas to materials and pharmaceuticals, bioalternatives promise to play a pivotal role in shaping a more sustainable future. At Manus, we are accelerating the transition to bioalternatives by delivering the benefits of synthetic biology, today. And we're excited to share our vision and expand the possibilities with our customers, partners, and industry peers. Join us!

We're excited to announce that Manus has received a $32.4 million award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Defense Production Act Title III Program to support the domestic production of critical essential medicines at population-scale.? This funding will enable us to establish key infrastructure to manufacture natural product drugs through biomanufacturing and semi-synthesis, onshore critical medicines manufacturing, and advance the U.S. bioeconomy. To achieve this, we will partner with ArtemiFlow USA, which specializes in the use of continuous flow chemistry for the production of pharmaceuticals. “We are honored to receive this significant funding from HHS’ DPA Title III Program, which will enable us to harness the power of bioalternatives to secure the domestic production of critical medicines,” says Manus Founder and CEO, Ajikumar Parayil. “By combining ArtemiFlow’s advanced flow chemistry technology with Manus’ BioOptimization Cycle? and BioAccelerator Program, we are confident in our ability to biomanufacture a reliable and sustainable supply of essential drugs – and further create bioeconomy jobs in rural America.” This award represents a major milestone in Manus’ desire to create a more resilient and self-sufficient healthcare system – and accelerate the transition to bioalternatives by delivering the benefits of synthetic biology, today.

It was all smiles at SupplySide West 2024 this year with our new partner, Tate & Lyle, to celebrate the launch of The Natural Sweetener Alliance! The strategic partnership with Tate & Lyle, a world leader in ingredient solutions for healthier food and beverages, will expand sugar reduction solutions, globally. The first ingredient to be jointly introduced is stevia Reb M, which is researched, developed, and scaled by Manus, leveraging our existing all-Americas supply chain from stevia leaf, extraction, and bioconversion to final ingredient. This novel source enhances supply chain security and reliability for customers, while also paving the way for other innovative stevia ingredient solutions. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth to chat and learn more about how the Alliance will accelerate innovation, provide greater supply chain security to customers, and grow the global natural sweeteners market!

Our Founder and CEO, Ajikumar Parayil, was invited to speak at The White House to share the tangible strides we have made in advancing biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the U.S.? On the two-year anniversary of the launch of the National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative (NBBI), Aji spoke alongside industry leaders and senior officials about the significant progress in domestic biomanufacturing – and how it presents an incredible opportunity to drive supply chain security and create jobs. Right here in the U.S.? On the heels of the announcement of our strategic partnership with Tate & Lyle, Aji also shared the significance of The Natural Sweetener Alliance as a defining moment for the future of biomanufacturing, industrial biotechnology, and bioalternatives. Leveraging Manus' advanced bioalternatives scale-up platform, this partnership will accelerate innovation, provide greater supply chain security, and grow the global natural sweeteners market, driving down sugar consumption worldwide and making healthier, high-quality options more accessible.

We are excited about our new partnership with Tate & Lyle, known as?The Natural Sweetener Alliance,?and expanding global access to natural sugar reduction solutions.? ? The first ingredient we will be introducing through the Alliance is our stevia Reb M – marking the first large-scale commercialization of an all-Americas-sourced, manufactured, and bioconverted stevia Reb M ingredient.? ? Researched, developed, and scaled by Manus, this stevia Reb M is manufactured at our large-scale BioFacility in Augusta, Georgia, and leverages Manus’ existing all-Americas supply chain, from stevia leaf, extraction, and bioconversion to final ingredient. Offering complete control and traceability, this novel source enhances supply chain security and reliability for customers and paves the way for other innovative stevia ingredient solutions.? ? We look forward to pushing innovation and growing the global natural sweeteners market together – and driving down sugar consumption by making healthier, high-quality options available worldwide!? ? #SugarReduction #MadeByManus #biomanufacturing?

For #NationalSTEMDay this year we'd like to celebrate the next generation of biomanufacturing leaders coming from our partners at Augusta Technical College! Innovation and progress starts with investing in curriculums that prepare students for more local job opportunities. At Manus, we believe that workforce development is essential?to Augusta's growth as a center of biomanufacturing excellence. Happy National STEM Day and here's to the next generation of future biomanufacturing leaders! #STEMEducation #STEM #AugustaTech #Biomanufacturing #GeorgiaManufacturing #WorkforceReady?

Did you know that bioalternatives outperform traditional molecules? Bioalternatives are chemically identical replacements for conventional complex molecules used to create everyday products – but they perform better.?? ? Here are four key areas where bioalternatives shine:? - Performance:?They offer high quality and purity, increased traceability and affordability.? - Functionality:?They offer tailored functionalities not achievable with traditional chemistry.? - Safety:?They are often considered safer for both humans and the environment.? - Sustainability:?They can significantly reduce the environmental footprint of traditional products. Want to learn more about bioalternatives – and how they can build resilience into your supply chain? Read our article: https://lnkd.in/eBM9pjCx Or contact Director of Business Development, Kevin J. Fox, to hear more about how bioalternatives can benefit your business. ? #bioalternatives #supplychain #bioeconomy #MadeByManus?

Honored to speak at Georgia Bio's Life Sciences Summit! As we continue to develop our Augusta BioFacility, we are proud to contribute to Georgia's thriving bioeconomy and create new opportunities locally and in the region. Thank you Georgia Bio for the collaboration! #BiotechGA #innovation #biomanufacturing #MadeByManus

Last week was an exciting time for the Manus team: - We announced our strategic partnership, The Natural Sweetener Alliance, with Tate & Lyle. - We also had the honor of being invited to speak at the White House, celebrating our progress in advancing biotechnology and biomanufacturing across the U.S. - To close out the week, we unveiled a partnership and research project with The University of Texas at Austin, McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, and Dr. Hal Alper, supported by BioMADE, to drive new opportunities for the commercialization of valuable bioproducts—bioalternatives—and driving sustainable bioinnovation. Thank you to our incredible team for your hard work and dedication to our purpose. Together, we are driving innovation and accelerating the future of bioalternatives! #MadeByManus #bioalternatives #biomanufacturing
