Pow.Bio
Dr. Ouwei Wang graduated from UC Berkeley with a Ph. D. in Microbiology. After spending several years elucidating the physiology and molecular mechanisms of microbial perchlorate respiration, he transitioned his research focus from environmental to applied microbiology. He leveraged fundamental knowledge of microbial metabolism to build applied molecular tools, including the microbial contamination control system that enables contamination resistant continuous fermentation. Upon graduating from UC Berkeley, Ouwei founded Pow. Bio, a startup that is developing intelligent continuous fermentation technologies to unlock the future of sustainable biomanufactured products.

Applied AI for Biomanufacturing: Challenges, Opportunities, and Real-World Impact
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping biomanufacturing, challenging long-standing practices and driving new levels of productivity. But what does this transformation look like in practice? This session offers a candid, hype-free discussion on the real-world impact of AI in biomanufacturing today. Industry experts will explore how AI is accelerating production, reducing costs, and enabling rapid scale-up—while also addressing the technical, organizational, and regulatory barriers that remain. Through real case studies and practical insights, we’ll examine what’s working, what isn’t, and what lessons can be drawn from current deployments. Join us for an honest look at the challenges, opportunities, and future direction of applied AI in the bioeconomy.
