Various inventions lead to this day where DNA sequencing and synthesis is fast and cheap. We are approaching a turning point in the history of genetic code - a time when we create our own code and new life forms.
Future of DNA is a day conference with a goal to bring scientists, entrepreneurs, and genetic code hackers together. We will cover the newest advances in research during the morning sessions. After lunch we will have the business discussions. The event will be finalized by a group panel discussion and a Q&A session. An informal dinner space will be booked nearby.
SPEAKERS:
Research Session
Han Cao - founder of BioNano Genomics, a spin out of a multimillion dollar project funded by DARPA. Han is a key contributor to many milestone papers such as the first human genome assembled using two single molecule long read platform technology and the largest genome assembled to date (32.4 Gb Axolotl). Han will talk about mapping the Dark Matter of the Genome - How Genomic Structural Information Help the Understanding of Complex Diseases and Biological Diversity.
Leonardo Ferreira - a molecular immunologist and human genome engineer at the UCSF. Leonardo is designing and developing genetically engineered cell-based therapies to prevent organ transplant rejection and reverse autoimmune disease. Leonardo will talk about genetic mechanisms of new organ and tissue rejection and how today's research will extend the lifespan of humans.
Enterprise Strategy Session
Reese Jones - associate founder of Singularity University. Reese is a biophysicist who has helped launch and grow mutliple companies, innovations, and patents in biotech. He is also an avid blockchain investor. Reese is going to give a talk about applying Darwin’s theory of natural selection and genetic information flow to the likely evolution of Blockchains.
Jo Varshney - founder and CEO of VeriSIM Life, a company that builds AI enabled disease specific models and simulations. Jo has developed genetically engineered mouse models as well as she has modified gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 to understand the cancer complexity.
Daniel Uribe - a serial entrepreneur and angel investor. Daniel holds an Electronics and Communications degree, and has a strong IT and Cybersecurity background. Daniel is a co-founder of Genobank.io to increase the quality and accuracy of the genetic information exchange.
