Benson Hill is breaking ground on a new crop accelerator, a state-of-the-art controlled-environment research facility.
Ag tech firm Benson Hill says it will build a new research facility and add scientific firepower, just weeks after the company landed a big-name independent director to help with growth and innovation.
With St. Louis-based venture capital firm Lagomaj Capital, Benson Hill is breaking ground on a new Crop Accelerator, a state-of-the-art controlled-environment research facility located near Benson Hill’s new headquarters in the 39 North Innovation District of St. Louis. The 47,000-square-foot crop accelerator will feature 20,000 square feet of dynamically adaptive Conviron growth houses and chambers, equipped with multichannel LEDs, additive CO2, and temperature, humidity and lighting controls.

Predicting future mamalian hosts of SARS-CoV-2
Coronaviruses can infect both animals and humans. Coronavirus infections are common, and some strains are zoonotic, which means they can be transmitted between animals and humans.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), emerged in Wuhan City, China, in late December 2019. Though the exact animal reservoir of the virus is yet to be identified, scientists believe the virus came from a horseshoe bat and jumped to an intermediate host before making its way to the human population.
Researchers at the Beijing Computational Science Research Center and Peking University analyzed sequences of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) proteins from 16 mammals and predicted the structures of ACE2- receptor-binding domain (RBD) complexes.
