May 2026, SynBioBeta

Speaker

A steward of the solidarity bioeconomy, Leon has spent his career pivoting between biomanufacturing roles and policy projects. Starting with COVID-19 test assays, moving to DNA, and now to synthetic cells, these manufacturing experiences have informed his approach and priorities regarding workforce development and public impact policy. The convergence of this work is the concept of the solidarity bioeconomy, a democratic, community-centered innovation ecosystem comprising alternative-owned enterprises and community biology labs.
