Giovanni Stracquadanio, PhD
Co-founder
Dr Giovanni Stracquadanio is an Personal Chair in Engineering Biology at the University of Edinburgh. He is an UKRI EPSRC fellow and co-director of the Edinburgh Genome Foundry. He has more than 15 years of experience in AI, computational biology and microbiology to address biomedical challenges. He was co-author of the first synthetic eukaryotic chromosome and has characterised the role of high-frequency inherited mutations in the p53 pathway. He is now working on engineering new enzyme replacement therapies for Fabry diseases using AI and microbial expression systems.
Susan Rosser, PhD
Co-founder
Dr Susan Rosser is Professor of Synthetic Biology at the University of Edinburgh. She is Director of the Edinburgh Mammalian Synthetic Biology Research Centre, Co-director of the Edinburgh Genome Foundry. Her research focuses on developing tools for synthetic biology approaches for pathway and genome engineering in bacteria, yeast and mammalian cell systems. The applications of her work include rapid cell line engineering for biologics production.
