A brighter future… built with biology
|
|
|
Hi ,
We’re five weeks away from SynBioBeta, live in Oakland! This week, we share our COVID safety protocols, launch our AI-driven 1-1 networking app, and preview some of the sessions we can’t wait to share with you in person!
Thank you to this week’s sponsor, Twist Bioscience, a leading and rapidly growing synthetic biology and genomics company that has developed a disruptive
DNA synthesis platform to industrialize the engineering of biology. Check out this app note
which showcases the use of Twist Gene Fragments for engineering Baker’s yeast to synthesize plant alkaloids.
We are Still a Go for
Our Live Event and Safety is Our #1 Priority!
After so long apart, it can be hard to remember how energizing and uplifting it is to be in the same room.
We’re keenly aware of the fluctuating COVID situation and are monitoring it daily in consultation with industry experts. If something changes, we will pivot with the science. Here’s our protocol to keep us all safe:
- Bring your proof of vaccination
- Get your PCR test three days before the event
- Bring your mask swag
- Use common sense - if you don’t feel well, we’ll miss you but we must always put the safety of the community first, social-responsibility style :)
Step one: COVID safety. Step two: Solve global challenges with biology!

Hear from our panel of distinguished founders and investors on their journey starting or investing in synthetic bio. The synthetic biology ecosystem has slowly evolved to include more women, but still women are
underrepresented as founders, investors and board members. The panel will share how they successfully achieved their goals, and what they learned along the way.

The challenge of decarbonizing our food system can seem overwhelming. Until recently, plants had been the staple for making alternative proteins. But novel technologies and ingredients are opening up new possibilities for sustainable, global nutrition. What does the future of food look—and taste—like when we aren’t limited by only what animals and plants we can domesticate?

Metabolic engineers have a problem: cells are selfish. The scientists want to use microbes to produce chemicals. The microbes prefer to concentrate on their own growth. Kristala Jones Prather has devised a tool that satisfies both conflicting objectives.
