BioBots is Now Allevi
BioBots is now Allevi, and we’ve got lots to tell you about.
When we founded the company in 2014, our mission was to make it easy to design and engineer biology. Bioprinters on the market were expensive, inaccessible, and difficult to use.

Three years later, we believe in our mission even more strongly, as we’ve grown to serve hundreds of labs in all corners of the world.
