Illinois receives gift to establish the Levenick Center for a Climate-Smart Circular Bioeconomy
The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has announced the creation of the Levenick Center for a Climate-Smart Circular Bioeconomy, the first such named center in the U.S. to be the cross-campus home for interdisciplinary science that tackles sustainability challenges and mitigation of climate change.
iFAB Tech Hub grows net-zero industrial chemical partnerships, champions bioeconomy
In the wake of the $51 million funding announcement from the Economic Development Administration, momentum is tangible for the Illinois Fermentation and Agriculture Biomanufacturing (iFAB) Tech Hub. Today marks the beginning of a new collaboration to replace fossil fuel-derived petrochemicals with zero-emission alternatives produced through precision fermentation.
New Research Uncovers the Spatial Gene Expression of Major Cell Types from the Stems of Sorghum
A multi-institutional team of researchers developed a protocol to isolate cell types for deep sequencing analysis. They successfully generated the first comprehensive gene expression atlas of the sorghum stem, which revealed cell-type-specific expression patterns, pathways, and underlying regulatory networks.

Erin Webb, lead for the Bioresources Science and Engineering group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected a Fellow of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, or ASABE — the society’s highest honor.
Nebraska researchers converting plant wastes into antimicrobial agents
Nebraska researchers are converting plant wastes into antimicrobial agents that could help prevent pathogenic infections and death while significantly lowering the cost of antimicrobial treatments and being a boon to the bioeconomy.
Eco-glue can replace harmful adhesives in wood construction
Researchers at Aalto University have developed a bio-based adhesive that can replace formaldehyde-containing adhesives in wood construction.
Bio-based coating for wood outperforms traditional synthetic options
Researchers have used lignin, a natural polymer abundant in wood and other plant sources, to create a safe, low-cost and high-performing coating for use in construction. The coating is non-toxic, hydrofobic, it retains wood’s breathability and natural roughness while being resistant to colour changes and abrasion.
