The NSF iBioFoundry is dedicated to developing new capabilities for biofoundries through an integrated and synergistic in-house research program and community-engaged program (user program) and providing the broader research community with unrestricted access to the research resources, training, education, and outreach activities developed in the center. Its overarching goal is to develop a cloud biofoundry that integrates synthetic biology, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and laboratory automation to democratize basic and applied biological research. Such biofoundry will be remotely-accessible,programmable, and self-driving, and can be readily scaled up to bring the power of innovation in biology to everyone. It will revolutionize biology and the biotechnology industry similar to what computers did to computing and the microelectronics industry.
