I work to promote synthetic biology, open source biology, and the international Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) program.  To my mind, DNA is a programming language for processors we call cells.  Synthetic biology allows true (forward) engineering of biology, with outputs that range from single proteins, to new metabolic pathways, to synthetic cells or organisms.  Since the designs are created by humans, one might think of this as memetic (idea-based) engineering/evolution.  These are powerful technologies with far-reaching economic, social, ethical, and legal implications.
Personalized Medicine and Cancer as Information Technology, Biotech Sweden, Stockholm, Sweden, December 8


I advocate the use of open source for programming DNA, since the free exchange of ideas maximizes innovation, and because transparency allows for wide oversight. In software development, open source has also led to robust code, highly skilled developer communities, and non-monopolistic pricing -- in other words, good things for end users.  If the same results can be achieved in biological engineering, open source biology could potentially create a more diversified and sustainable biotechnology industry.  These ideas are explored in ''[http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources2/toc.html Open Sources 2.0]'', which is published by O'Reilly and is, paradoxically, not open source.  I'll send you a PDF if you ask for one.

If you enjoy thinking about how operating systems, programs, and data "live and die" as 1's and 0's on a computer hard drive, I would love to have a long discussion with you over a beer -- and convince you to get a job in genetics if you don't already have one.

== Background ==
Singularity University-FIAP Program, Sao Paolo, Brazil, November 9-15


I received my MSc. in bacterial genomics from the University of Calgary in 1995.  I joined the Amgen Institute, a 120 person research facility located in Toronto, Canada, as a bioinformaticist and manager.  Working as a bridge between the Institute, Amgen Canada, and Amgen Inc. (Thousand Oaks, CA), I facilitated dozens of advanced research projects involving microarrays, genetic sequence analysis, and data mining.  Today, the Institute, no longer affiliated with Amgen, is known as the [http://www.campbellfamilyinstitute.com/Pages/Home/HomePage.aspx Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research].  In 2002, I co-founded of Miikana Therapeutics and helped create the virtual business model they successfully used.  I left after the company began operations to focus on advanced biotechnologies.  Miikana was sold to Entremed in December, 2005 for $21 million plus milestones.

Since 2003, I have worked to raise awareness about synthetic biology and open source biology.  As part of this effort, I am now founding an open source biotechnology company that will make individually personalized cancer therapeutics -- more on this soon.  While I generally work in Canada, I travel widely and am happy to speak on these subjects anywhere, schedule permitting.

Educational Work

Singularity University

I co-chair the Biotechnology and Bioinformatics track at the Singularity University, located at the NASA Research campus. The mission of Singularity University is to prepare leaders for accelerating technological change. See http://singularityu.org for more information.

Advancing Personalized Medicine

Pink Army Cooperative (open source biotech)

I am a co-founder, along with Jayson Tymko and John Carlson, of the world's first cooperative biotechnology company, the Pink Army Cooperative.

We're out to fundamentally change the way medicines are developed. We're building a development system able to make drugs for just one person at a time. This simplifies the science, manufacturing, testing, interpretation, risk, and liability -- all saving money and years of effort. When we get it right, we then scaling the system to treat more people.

We are not a cancer research group. We're a socially-owned and backed biotechnology company out to make personalized therapeutics very, very fast.

We're currently in the member acquisition phase, recruiting 2500 members to purchase a $20 share (this is equity, not a donation) and thus provide capital for the first R&D push. Until this trigger point, all member capital is being banked. No salaries or expenses are paid. This is a truly member-owned, non-profit biotechnology company, something very different in the world of pharmaceuticals.
