My name is Widianti, an aspiring synthetic biologist and a chemical engineering graduate student at University of Washington. My research focuses on harnessing synthetic biology as a tool for biocatalysis and bioproduction application. Outside lab, I love spending time cooking and travelling for food.
I am a graduate student at the Knight Campus at the University of Oregon. My research interests include protein engineering, multiplex functional assays, deep mutational scanning, and synthetic biology. I love living in the Pacific Northwest, and taking advantage of the beautiful hikes and outdoor activities in the area.

Having earned my B.Tech in Food Technology from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, I got the opportunity to join the School of Biochemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) Varanasi, as M.Tech graduate and later got Ph.D under the supervision of Prof. Mira Debnath Das. I earned Ph.D (Biochemical Engineering) on an exceptionally well researched project on “Bioprocess strategy development on production and characterization of antifungal protein from Aspergillus giganteus”.

We are excited to engage with EBRC members and the broader research community on this important roadmapping effort. We welcome workshop participation from academic, industry, and government scientists and engineers, research & development leadership, students and postdocs, and other stakeholders.
Building off the first two workshops focusing on climate and environmental challenges, this third workshop will broaden our scope to include discussions on concrete and bold engineering biology solutions for long-term sustainable development and use of natural resources, while iterating on the opportunities and goals put forth in the previous workshops.
For more information about the roadmap or workshop, please contact Sifang Chen (schen@ebrc.org)

I have completed my PhD in Molecular Genetics from King’s College London, UK, I came back to Pakistan to join University Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, PMAS-Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi, Pakistan. I established my research group in 2016 and became the first person in our Institution to work on CRISPR based genome editing. Currently leading my team in establishing the National Center of Industrial Biotechnology at our Institution to further strengthen my work in Metabolic Engineering/Synthetic Biology.
I am an Integrated Masters students studying chemical engineering, minoring in Pharmaceutical Technology, at Institute of Chemical Technology- IndianOil Odisha campus, Bhubaneswar. The limitless potential of modifying and enhancing bacteria netwroks and strains to remediate pollution and manufacture drugs and sustainable chemicals is the utopia I am dreaming about. I am passionate in Synthetic Biology, Bioprocessing and Metabolic engineering. I have trained in MS, protein analysis and Proteomics under Prof. Sanjeeva Srivastava, IIT Bombay and am currently working under him to develop a Covid protein database.
