Bio: I lead synthetic biology efforts at Ontario Genomics. Together with our genome centre and government colleagues, we are aiming to support the synthetic biology community and build leadership and capacity in Canada. Since 2000, we have leveraged over $1.2B for R&D in Ontario. I'm also an avid beer brewer- arguably the original biotech killer app.
