Foray Bioscience Inc

Foray, a startup founded by Ashley Beckwith based on her PhD work in Mechanical Engineering at MIT, seeks to generate the wood and forest products we need, without cutting down a single tree. Just as lab-grown meat has proven its commercial viability, Foray is developing a platform to bioengineer an expansive range of plant-based products, that can be cultured and grown to order. Early anticipated markets include high-value rare wood products, like oils and resins. Rather than cultivate and destroy an entire tree to yield as little as half a liter of usable product, Foray’s bioreactors will grow only the useful parts.
