In Silico Fermentation recognizes that each organization has unique reasons for exploring collaboration in the metabolic modeling domain. Large companies may be seeking research collaborations to expand the capabilities of the metabolic modeling tools already being used internally. Smaller companies may need training of key scientists and engineers so they can expand their job responsibilities to include metabolic and fermentation modeling. Startup companies and academic groups may need assistance in generating modeling results to support fundraising and proposal submission.
To meet these diverse needs, we offer a wide range of opportunities for collaboration with commercial and academic partners. The unifying theme in our collaborations in the emphasis on microbial metabolic modeling, either directly for strain analysis or indirectly as a key component in process-level models. All partnerships are driven by our technical expertise, which spans metabolic reconstructions, constraint-based analysis, in silico metabolic engineering, stirred tank bioreactor simulation, and microbial community modeling. Our most common types of collaboration include:
- Training activities for technically diverse audiences
- App development for metabolic and bioprocess modeling
- Consulting projects involving microbial systems and fermentation processes
- Subcontract work on state and federal research grants
Please contact us by email if you would like to discuss partnership opportunities.
