Pow.Bio
CTO & Co-founder
Dr. Ouwei Wang graduated from UC Berkeley with a Ph.D. in Microbiology.
After spending several years elucidating the physiology and molecular mechanisms of microbial perchlorate respiration, he transitioned his research focus from environmental to applied microbiology. He leveraged fundamental knowledge of microbial metabolism to build applied molecular tools, including the microbial contamination control system that enables contamination resistant continuous fermentation.
Upon graduating from UC Berkeley, Ouwei founded Pow.Bio, a startup that is developing intelligent continuous fermentation technologies to unlock the future of sustainable biomanufactured products.
Pow.Bio’s nimble, scalable and CapEx light technology stack features AI-controlled, automated software seamlessly integrated within a novel fermentation system.
