Technology group ANDRITZ and biotech company Tandem Repeat Technologies are collaborating to offer industrial-scale production solutions for Procell, a new sustainable, protein-based fiber https://t.co/AfzWCXcncX

Tandem Repeat’s yeast-brewed fibre Procell could beat wool & even cotton on price. Founder Prof. Melik Demirel tells @Sportstextiles it’s twice as strong as wool at half the cost. Full interview here 👉 https://t.co/rMlcolr235 #biotech #textiles #sustainability

Textile World Magazine highlighted our Procell yarns and garments. Would you wear a bio-wool sweater or denim that's not animal-derived but biomanufactured?

I am now obsessed with the colors of our #biomanufactured protein fibers. Last year, I wrote about scaling up biomanufactured protein fibers to 500 kg. Next step is 5 tons.

Our research has been featured in Penn State news. We thank all the students, collaborators, and funding agencies—ARO, AFOSR, ONR—for making this work possible over the past 15 years. https://t.co/gj0qwkzQf7

Finally, we have biomanufactured a sweater for men. Great achievement, #TandemRepeat team.

Next week, I’ll be speaking at The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine about our journey of scaling #biomanufacturing in the USA, beginning with the US institute and expanding to international ones. https://t.co/NGPQJ6sGVj

It took an incredible 15 years, along with over $10 million and a talented team of researchers, engineers, and collaborators

The world's first biomanufactured and affordable sweater... Sustainability cannot survive without price parity. The initial 50 sweaters are sold out; the next milestone is 500. Please share your insights on scaling sales in textiles.

Is it possible for biotechnology to create products at cost parity or at a lower price? Absolutely. The production of biomanufactured sweaters is moving forward. Follow us at Tandem Repeat and check https://t.co/F3eXqy5PAm

my recent talk on our new platform

📷 Join us on @ploutosai for an exclusive talk w/ Prof. Melik Demirel , 📷📷 of Penn State University. 📷 Hosted by @ceciletamura of Ploutos, this discussion will dive deep into the latest research—don’t miss it! https://t.co/tdpZQNu5i0

step by step production of biomanufactured sweater.. it is on sale at sonachic ( https://t.co/B9jJPRVxxZ). congrats to Tandem Team

I am obsessed with our biomanufactured protein fiber (all-natural performance fiber). We currently have 500kg of protein fibers used to make knitted and woven garments, sweaters, cardigans, and T-shirts. Our goal is to achieve 5-25 metric tonnes scale in 2025.

Hello World! We’re incredibly excited to share that it’s our first show on the road. For the first time, we’ll present our biomanufactured garments to the public at Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) in Austin,TX.

Can deep tech products be manufactured in the USA? I collaborated with David Adler on a public policy essay regarding this issue, which is now available in American Affairs. https://t.co/4sW5U0K8gM

Congratulations to Tandem Repeat's CEO, Gözde Şenel-Ayaz, and CTO, Benjamin Allen, for showcasing our fabric, yarn, and t-shirt at an event organized by BioMADE at the White House. The protein based biomanufactured T-shirts look fantastic on both of you.

What is the initial step in a successful project? A great team always underpins the success of any project. I am proud of the Tandem Repeat team, who crafted over 60 meters of protein-based knitted fabric—a significant step for tandem and a small one for humanity.

We’re thrilled to announce that Tandem Repeat has been awarded a $1.5M grant from the Department of Defense to scale our groundbreaking protein-based fibers together with ARCTOS! https://t.co/QbwFJl6xwm
