Scientific Tracks Abstracts: Curr Synthetic Sys Biol
SOSV�s Cork-based global bio accelerator initiative is dedicated to funding and building startups for the purpose of aiding humanity. SOSV now operates two accelerator programs, IndieBio based in San Francisco and RebelBio again based in Cork. These accelerators are responsible for establishing many synthetic biology startups around the world including Perfect Day Foods, Memphis Meats, Microsynbiotix and the German based Saphium Biotech. We provide the mechanism by which young scientists, entrepreneurs and tinkerers can shape their own destiny and make something that matters. RebelBio provides seed funding and mentorship to drive the transition of science to a business in only four months, before launching its graduate companies into the world of biotechnology to make their fortune, buffered by the company�s many alumni, partners and partner investors.

He has been involved with several startups, most recently biobased advanced materials company, Cellulac Ltd. He is the CSO in SOSV responsible for scientific due diligence, recruitment, product development analysis in addition to other work. He has published several papers in the area of protein engineering, enzymology, metabolomics and cellulosic biofuels.
