News, trends, and stories from the synthetic biology industry
Hi ,
Join me this
morning at 8 am PST and a selection of leading CEOs and Founders for a discussion of this week's breaking news in synthetic biology:
Mark Fischer-Colbrie, CEO of Strateos, will be talking about their robotic cloud lab, a deeply integrated technology stack of biology, robotics and software made available to its users via the internet.
Ameen Razavi, Project Lead at Microvi, will be talking about a $1.12 million grant from the National Institutes of Health that will allow the company to apply machine learning and bioinformatics to develop a new generation of biological treatment processes.
Matt Sterbenz, GM of Wintersports at Checkerspot, will be talking about Checkerspot’s outdoor brand WNDR Alpine, which recently received B Corp Certification. The company designs performance materials at a molecular level by
optimizing microbes to biomanufacture unique structural oils.
Then, at 9 am, join me for the first SynBioBeta Live of the year: What does the future of distributed automated research for deep technologies like synthetic biology look like? I'll be hosting some amazing guests discussing a 4-year DARPA project that's about to conclude. There'll be a live Q&A and I hope you'll join me too. This is an event sponsored by our good friends at Strateos and I think you'll enjoy it.
It's been hard keeping this a secret but now we can officially announce:
Eat Just CEO Josh Tetrick will be the keynote speaker at our Food & Ag event! You won't want to miss this amazing talk led by our co-host Christine Gould of Thought For Food! We’ll be discussing the regulations, policies, and partnerships food technologies need to be commercially available worldwide.

But our Editor-In-Chief, Fiona Mischel, spoke with Josh Tetrick and Elizabeth Derbes at the Good Food Institute about how cultured meat is reshaping the future of food and what entrepreneurs need to know as this game-changing technology takes off.

Last year, I spoke with Ali Tamaseb, an investor at DCVC, on the SynBioBeta podcast about his strategy for finding super-founders, and emerging
challenges for founders, particularly in synthetic biology. If you liked that conversation, you might be interested in his upcoming book, Super Founders: What Data Reveals About Billion-Dollar Startups, which will be launched in May.
