century will be at the intersection of
biology and technology. A new era is beginning.” - Steve Jobs
“If I were a teenager today, I'd be hacking biology.” - Bill Gates
Transforming
biological innovation
2. UnternehmerTUM GmbH / 21.11.19
Innovation needs Freedom
Freedom to think
we need the creative and daring minds
who want to stray off the easy and beaten paths
Freedom to create
they need a place to experiment, fail and succeed
and a community to get the right input and motivation
Freedom to act
we have to move all roadblocks away,
provide them with consultancy, infrastructure and money
and allow them to grow their own idea to bear full fruit
3. Bio.Kitchen enables lean and agile development of life science innovation
Biological innovation to date is not
agile. Large investments and time is
required to develop new prototypes
until market readiness. Our
Bio.Kitchen brings agile innovation
into the domains of chemistry,
biology, pharma and medicine.
In our courses we merge the
organic, technical and digital worlds
to generate sustainable generation
of value following the UN “one
health” concept, to give answers to
the challenge of the 21. century:
green economy, food and
healthcare.

We lower administrative, logistic and regulatory
hurdles to enable agile innovation in the life
sciences. Our competent team gives practical
workshops and provides a full equipped mobile lab
infrastructure for chemistry, biology, medtech and
material sciences. Participants of our workshops will
be guided from idea to a functional prototype and
then receive further coaching on how to form a
startup and commercialize their ideas and
technologies.
15. Micro.bio Syn.bio Fluid.bio Lab.bio Ai.bio
Safely grow, identify and
select microorganisms
using a mobile incubator
and autoclave. Expression
of transgenic proteins is
possible with cell free
systems or small scale
fermenters.
Syn.bio provides DNA
analytic hardware. such as
the Kilobaser and
Nanopore technologies for
sequencing and synthesis
of DN. To analyze DNA we
offer a QPCR and our
desktop tools.
Our microfluidic toolbox
enables you to rapid
protoype microfluidic
devices. Combine
detectors for optical
density measurement with
actuators like pumps and
valves and miniaturize your
custom lab automation
solutions.
The station is equipped
with a centrifuge, pipettes,
a transportable fridge and
freezer to keep your
reagents fresh and usable
anywhere. The convenient
storage of consumables
and the safe transportation
of chemicals make it the
ideal mobile lab platform.
A powerful collection of
softwares using AI and ML
algorithms allows the
innovator to predict protein
structures and rapidly
design his own life forms.
This allows avoiding
wetware experiments to
speed up innovation and
safe precious time and
money in the lab.
Our Bio.Kitchen Lab covers the most relevant processes for early-stage biological
rapid prototyping within four five key technology fields.

innovator’s journey
Building a biotech startup is a high-risk but high-gain
venture. Prototyping takes long and can still fail late in the
process. Therefore, investors don’t like the high-risk
investment in the early phase of your venture.
To succeed in the critical first 2 years of your startup, you
can join our Bio.Kitchen biotech bootstrapping program,
while keeping your IP and Equity to yourself.

23. Bio.Tournament Environmental Challenge - evolve your organisms to live in the
microplastic habitat
Bio.Tournament teams develop biotechnological innovations and
playfully compete with each other by growing their organisms to
explore a new habitat on a petri dish. Participants learn our unique
rapid prototyping methodology to hack ecology and evolution to
outsmart your opponent bacterial cultures. By building their own
open source lab-on-a-chip “bio playstation” teams can test their
ideas in a real-time biological competition against other teams.
Target audience: biotech company staff & University students
Duration: Preparation 2 days,
bio.tournament game 3 days

24. Bio.Tournament Hackathon: decentralised and mobile labs can “teleport”
personalised medicine such as drugs and vaccines
phage therapy can treat multi-drug resistant bacterial infections
therapeutic agents have to be provided at the point-of-care personalised medication.
Using our Syn.Bio station, drugs and vaccines can be sequenced, sent over the
internet and their DNA get printed again by e.g. another Syn.Bio station in a different
location. Thus, a biologically active drug can be literally “teleported”. Patients
anywhere on the planet can be treated with personalised medicine in real time.

Bio.Tournament Hackathon: We need locally produced plastic consumables to keep
up with consumption and lower import dependencies
3-D-printed Lab consumables:
-can counteract global delivery bottlenecks
-can be adapted very fast to specific processes (high flexibility) (rapid prototyping)
