Welcome to the ASBMB 2026 Exhibitor and Sponsor Console!
Thank you very much for your support of the annual meeting of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Taking place March 7-10, 2026 at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort and Convention Center just outside Washington, D.C., #ASBMB26 is where you need to be to connect in person with nearly 3,000 researchers in academia and the molecular life sciences industry, educators, trainees and students from across the globe. Committed to sharing the latest, most impactful research findings in the molecular life sciences, #ASBMB26 attendees will look forward to talks by the field’s foremost experts, interactive workshops on the latest trends, technologies and techniques, and an invigorating exhibition of posters, services and products.

Forage Evolution Inc.
Forage Evolution is creating the next generation of biotech with “Active Competence.” Our flagship Forager-1 is the first bacteria genetically programmed to actively take up DNA – biology with a molecular DNA data port. The Forager Fast Plasmid Subcloning Kit available on our website is the first competent cell with a new mechanism to transform DNA in nearly 50 years. It’s faster - the fastest growing organism on Earth V. natriegens forms colonies in under 6 hours, and easier - just add DNA, incubate, and plate. Transform your workflows with Forager.
Show Specials
-
How fast can you do a plasmid transformation? With Forager-Fast, its faster than you'd think!
Stop by booth 414 at 1 pm, 3 pm, and 5 pm on Sunday (04/08) and Monday (04/09) to compete in the first ever Forager-Fast Olympic trials. Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners each day will win a free Plasmid Subcloning Kit for their lab!
Some conditions apply, see our booth for details.
-
Are you ready to clone plasmids faster? With the Forager-Fast Plasmid Subcloning Kit, transform Forager-1 competent cells with one short incubation, get colonies in as little as 6 hours, and start a miniprep just 4 hours later.

Press Releases
-
A recent BBC feature highlighting the growing need to move beyond traditional “workhorse” microbes like E. coli and explore faster, more capable organisms for the next era of biotechnology. It spotlights Vibrio natriegens—a naturally ultra-fast-growing bacterium with major potential for industrial biomanufacturing and sustainability applications. Forage Evolution, spun out of Cornell University, is building the genetic tools and workflows that make V. natriegens dramatically easier for researchers to engineer and deploy, unlock new possibilities for scalable, efficient, next-generation biotech.

Spotlight of Forage Evolution, a Cornell University spinout founded by Bryce Brownfield, David Specht, and Cameron Kitzinger, pioneering a faster and simpler way to engineer biology using Vibrio natriegens—one of the fastest-growing microbes on Earth. By enabling efficient “natural transformation”, the company dramatically reduces the time, cost, and equipment typically required for biotech R&D. Recently accepted into Cornell’s Center for Life Science Ventures incubator, Forage Evolution is accelerating its transition from academic breakthrough to commercial platform. Its technology aims to make high-throughput genetic engineering more accessible and scalable, powering applications from automated synthetic biology to sustainable biomanufacturing.
