Jayme Feyhl-Buska

Homeworld Collective

Critical Minerals Lead

Jayme Feyhl-Buska is a geomicrobiologist focused on leveraging the natural interactions between biology and geology to develop technologies that address climate issues. She started her geomicrobiology studies researching extremophilic life in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park during her bachelors studies at Montana State University. At the University of Southern California, she continued her research into astrobiology and the limits of life, working to clarify energy and nutrient usage in deep subsurface microbes inhabiting a volcanic subglacial lake and a former gold mine. Following her PhD, Jayme honed her skills in applied geomicrobiology as an industry scientist, first developing agricultural biotechnologies at Boost Biomes, then specializing in biomining copper from low-grade ores at Cemvita and later through its spinoff, Endolith. Today, as the Critical Minerals Program Lead at Homeworld Collective, she continues to focus on how to develop better biomining biotechnologies capable of leveraging biology for the benefit of humanity and the environment.

From Cells to Patients: Solving the Scale Mismatch in Virtual Biology

Drug discovery often measures biology at the cell level while interventions work at the tissue, organ, or whole-patient scale. This mismatch can make accurate cell-level predictions irrelevant in the clinic. This session dives into strategies to bridge that gap: multiscale modeling that nests single-cell dynamics within organ-level simulations, spatial transcriptomics that preserve context, and surrogate models that translate cell-level outputs into clinical biomarkers. Speakers will ask: how do we ensure virtual biology reflects not just what cells do in isolation, but how biology behaves in the real complexity of patients?
