MicroByre: Sarah Richardson

“We need to make poop the new gold.  We need to give new ways for poop to become the input, and for antibiotics to become the output...or for polymers or for bioplastics to become the output.  That just means cozying up with bacteria, because they can do it.”  -Sarah Richardson, Co-founder and CEO, MicroByreSarah is a computationally inclined microbiologist and science communicator: she speaks charmingly to computers, bacteria, and people. Sarah grew up in West Baltimore, and after completing a PhD in human genetics and molecular biology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and a Postdoctoral fellowship at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Sarah founded the biotech startup MicroByre (@MicroByre), where she leads a skilled and diverse team in the construction of genomic toolkits for non‐model prokaryotes.  Trained to straddle disciplines, Sarah has a very unique perspective on the emerging technologies made possible by synthetic biology.Enjoy the show!Climate Tech Cocktails (CTC) is a bootstrapped project.  Interested in sponsoring?  Please reach out to [email protected] For show notes and past guests, please visit the CTC Substack.Follow CTC:TwitterInstagramFacebook
