MSU Bioeconomy Institute Details
The MSU Bioeconomy Institute provides bioprocessing and fermentation as well as chemical pilot plant scale-up production and conducts sponsored research and testing for both for-profit and not-for-profit entities of all sizes. The MSUBI facilities in Holland and Lansing, Michigan, complement and extend MSU campus research that supports the emerging bioeconomy, including biofuels, bio-based specialty chemicals and biomaterials. To date, it has conducted successful production runs for high technology start-up firms and publicly traded corporations. The MSU Bioeconomy Institute also houses a biobusiness incubator and serves as a home to embedded researchers from private and public sector collaborator organizations. These activities support Michigan State University's general mission triad of research, teaching, and service-outreach, and specifically advance MSU efforts to promote the economic development of Michigan, the region, and the nation.
