Bioconvergence for Biomanufacturing: Closing the Scale Gap in Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology has entered a new era of capability. AI-driven protein design, advanced cell engineering, and increasingly automated labs are rapidly expanding what is scientifically possible. Yet commercial scale and sustainable economics remain out of reach. The core challenge is no longer whether biology can be engineered, but whether it can be consistently deployed in real-world environments. Moving from lab success to industrial production introduces a new set of constraints, from process robustness and yield to infrastructure, supply chains, and cost. This session focuses on what it actually takes to translate innovation into manufacturing reality. Rather than diagnosing failure points, it highlights the systems, platforms, and partnerships that enable biology to scale. What is working today, where are the key integration bottlenecks, and how do we build a more cohesive path from design to deployment?

From Cells to Patients: Solving the Scale Mismatch in Virtual Biology

Drug discovery often measures biology at the cell level while interventions work at the tissue, organ, or whole-patient scale. This mismatch can make accurate cell-level predictions irrelevant in the clinic. This session dives into strategies to bridge that gap: multiscale modeling that nests single-cell dynamics within organ-level simulations, spatial transcriptomics that preserve context, and surrogate models that translate cell-level outputs into clinical biomarkers. Speakers will ask: how do we ensure virtual biology reflects not just what cells do in isolation, but how biology behaves in the real complexity of patients?
