George is known as the Founding Father of Genomics and the Father of Synthetic Biology. He’s a biology wizard, with interests ranging from sequencing DNA to organ transplantation, in applications as wide-ranging as resurrecting wooly mammoths and dating apps. George became a Harvard medical school professor in 1986, and was one of the architects of the Human Genome Project in the early 1990s. Since he’s been instrumental in driving forward an array of technologies. He’s also co-founded of more than 20 venture-backed startups. I got to know George through founders he’s worked with, whom Fifty Years has backed. These include the founders of Manifold, HelixNano, Tierra, 64x, and Nabla. At Fifty Years, we’ve been one of the first partners to all of these founders on their journeys to bring science from the lab to society. Hear how George thinks about multiplexing in bio, raising grant funding, the right culture for a lab, and more!
