Testimonials

Biology has always been with us, now we have learned to harness it. SynBioBeta has fostered a wonderful community that has dedicated itself to using biology to help heal, feed, clothe and house humankind while preserving the fragile ecosystems in which we must live. With these great accomplishments comes the grave responsibility of using our science in line with our best instincts and always in the service of humankind and the planet.

Una Ryan

SynBioBeta could have gone on for a month and we would have only scratched the surface for potential collaborative opportunities. It is a thought- provoking and congenial forum for sharing solution - driven innovation.

Jonny Ohlson

A must-do meeting for anyone working in, or investing in synthetic biology companies.

Lindy Fishburne

I first came to SynBioBeta to learn more about the field. I stayed for the community. There is no better place to go learn and network.
