Buying Spree: Rebranded BICO Bets Big on “Bioconvergence”
The company formerly known as CELLINK Life Sciences builds a portfolio that blends biology, engineering and computer science technologies
A researcher at Olathe, KS, startup Ronawk uses CELLINK’s Lumen X™ bioprinter, powered by Volumetric, to mass produce adult stem cells. While CELLINK’s name remains for the bioprinting business, the parent company has been rebranded as BICO Group—short for “bioconvergence,” the combination of biology, engineering and computer science technologies—including robotics, artificial intelligence, advanced genomics and bioprinting—for healthcare and life-sci applications.
