Director of Business Development, Synonym Biotechnologies

Synonym exists to support biomanufacturing firms in building production facilities that will allow their products to compete with and outperform traditional sources of protein. With global food production responsible for about a third of carbon emissions (the majority of which is in the production of proteins), this work is vital.

Synonym aims to develop standardized designs for biofermentation facilities that its customers will be able to use instead of making their own at vast expense. This proposal has seen the company raise considerable funds that have supported its development so far. It has also announced a 32,000L+ fermentation scale-up facility in Illinois, in partnership with Primient, will be coming in early 2026.
