Reshma Shetty co-founded Ginkgo Bioworks and is currently serving as its COO. She’s seen it grow from a small group of founders to a thriving business with more than 500 employees. Shetty and Ginkgo are focused on developing the field of synthetic biology and using it to help find sustainable solutions for a variety of markets, including food and materials. The goal of synthetic biology is to engineer microorganisms to produce more ecofriendly alternatives to how we currently make products, grow food, and deliver healthcare. It’s a fantastic forward movement in sustainability that should produce some amazing results in the future.
