Senior Engineer
Passionate about deploying synthetic biology to unlock bioengineering, George Peabody earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now a Program Lead at Ginkgo Bioworks, he has led a diverse portfolio of strain engineering programs spanning small molecules, whole cell biocatalysts, and proteins in both yeast and bacteria — with a focus on integrating automation, high-throughput screening, and AI-driven workflows to autonomize and accelerate strain engineering for industrial bioproduction.
