Hi ,

SynBioBeta is just three weeks away! Register before midnight this Friday (4/19) to save on your conference pass. Still need a hotel room? Grab a room at the Hilton San Jose before they sell out; this premier property is connected to the convention center.


Big news from Ginkgo Ferment last week, where CEO Jason Kelly announced a new product that will appeal to a lot of startups: Lab Data as a Service can free you from the constraints of data-limited design, making the power and scale of the Ginkgo Foundry accessible on demand “You own the data, no royalties and transparent pricing” says Jason.

Thanks to Edward Shenderovich for joining me on the latest SynBioBeta podcast: Scaling New Heights in Biomanufacturing. On this SynBioBeta podcast, Edward, the Founder and CEO of Synonym, and I discuss how Synonym addresses some of the challenges in biomanufacturing with its technology-driven products and focus. Edward will also speak at this year’s SynBioBeta conference on “Scaling Biological Capacity” in our Chemicals & Materials Track. Take a listen, and you might even hear some Russian poetry! 


Three of my longevity friends are on a podcast together! Omri Amirav-Drory + Joe Betts-LaCroix + Alex Colville. What more could you ask for? They will also be speaking at SynBioBeta 2024 this year! Check it out!


I was lucky enough to meet Michael Okea (center of photo) at the SynBio Africa Conference last year in Uganda. He's fired up and so passionate about using the tools of biotechnology to do research, start businesses, and improve our lives. He's raising travel funds to support his trip to SynBioBeta. Feddy Akello, a fresh graduate of Biomedical Laboratory Technology from Makerere University, is also raising funds to attend the conference, you can support her here.

Thanks to John Corcoran for having me on his podcast, "Smart Business Revolution." We talked about my number one passion and expertise: curating influential communities and nurturing innovation in biotechnology!
