I'm interested in growing solidarity bioeconomies. The solidarity bioeconomy is the ecosystem of actors & organizations exploring how alternative ownership models (cooperatives, employee ownership, foundation ownership, community ownership, etc.) can produce technologies that have a regenerative effect on people and the planet. The solidarity bioeconomy is decentralized, democratic, bioregional, pro-worker, and pro-Earth.

This work is informed by my previous experiences manufacturing COVID-19 assays, producing plasmids for lentiviral gene therapy, developing an ecosystem-based approach to biomanufacturing workforce development, building the first developer community for synthetic biology, and investigating corporate public impact to provide recommendations regarding actions Ginkgo Bioworks could take to orient their caring strategy.
