U. S. Department of Defense Biomanufacturing Strategy

Abstract

Biomanufacturing, defined as the use of biological mechanisms in manufacturing, is a rapidly maturing technology. While the origins of biomanufacturing are rooted in medicine and agriculture, today, biotechnology is used to manufacture an increasing range of materials that are of significant interest of the Dept. of Defense (DoD). One estimate suggests that more than half of the impact from the visible pipeline of [biotechnology] applications is outside of healthcare - in agriculture, consumer, and other areas.
