Combines expertise in cell biology with creativity to develop products that redefine the future of food and medicine. When Rania is not in the lab, you will find her tending to her jungle of houseplants, hiking in the great outdoors, or exploring local farmer's markets for exotic ingredients to experiment with fusion cuisine.
Turns plants into a protein-producing powerhouse. Outside the lab, you will find Negar satisfying her wanderlust, discovering new cultures and cuisines, learning about new tech, and listening to all kinds of music.
Clones genes into our DNA vectors for protein expression in plant chloroplasts. Beyond the lab, Joshua finds solace and joy in playing the guitar, listening to jazz bands and learning Spanish.
Brings our mission to the world with impactful storytelling. When Diana is not telling a story, you will find her indulging in her passions for food, travel, outdoor activities, and animals.
Leads protein extraction and purification with innovative optimisations and scalable solutions. Outside the lab, he swaps his lab coat for quality time with his family and his three playful cats, or hits the local basketball court to shoot some hoops.
Drives our growth strategy with her expertise in market analysis, partnership building, and fundraising. Outside of driving success, she loves hiking new trails, enjoying comedy specials, painting, and spending time with her family.
Optimises protein purification and evaluates the environmental and techno-economic impacts of our technology. Beyond the lab, you will find Thomas on one of his bikepacking trips or participating in a nearby chess competition.
