OVERVIEW.
Realizing that the lack of access to health care is a major problem in developing countries, we decided to create an automated user-friendly mobile factory able to produce therapeutic molecules for multiple diseases.
With our project “The BioMaker Factory”, we have rethought the way in which the drugs based on the latest advances in biological engineering and engineering are produced. Thus, we propose a small portable factory whose bioproduction of therapeutic molecules is fully automated by specific software and allows specific doses of the raw elements of therapeutic drugs to be delivered on demand. Local need-based production using the factory would, therefore, reduce the production and conservation costs of medications. The tool would be provided to humanitarian workers, local institutions and health care facilities, enabling them to significantly improve access to health care for the concerned populations. The biological background of “The BioMaker Factory” gives it great modularity and an important capacity to produce many different molecules. From immunotherapies to food supplements. “The BioMaker Factory” has a potentially unlimited range of applications that we want to make available to as many people as possible.
But how “The BioMaker Factory” works in general? “The BioMaker Factory” is an automated machine allows the production of therapeutic molecules, after choosing the necessary treatment based on the local demand, the integrated computer automatically selects the strain of bacteria that develops through a smart bioreactor. A true miniature laboratory capable of producing proteins and other molecules such as anti-inflammatories or vitamins to treat diseases.
