I am a metabolic engineer and systems biologist with research interests primarily focused on finding/developing novel biological pathways for waste upcycling. My group does “full stack” metabolic engineering, from in silico modelling and design through to bench-scale fermentation to evaluate scalability. I am also the co-founder of Phycus Biotechnologies, which makes bio-based glycolic acid using a novel, sustainable fermentation process.
Jon Judd is a postdoctoral scholar at the Engineering Biology Research Consortium (EBRC). He earned his Ph.D. in Genetics from Stanford University, where he worked with Drs. Jonathan Pritchard, John Witte, and Linda Kachuri. His research focused on the genetic and environmental risk factors underlying complex diseases.
During his graduate studies, Jon served as president of the Stanford Science Policy Group, was a member of the American Society of Human Genetics’ Government & Public Advocacy Committee, and worked as an intern at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, supporting the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Outside of work, Jon enjoys playing Quadball (a sport inspired by Harry Potter’s Quidditch), watching horror movies, and spending time with his dog, Jefe.
The NextGen Omics, Spatial & Data UK event, now in its 18th year, unites the multi-omics, spatial biology, and data science communities. Held annually in London, it serves as a key meeting point for influential researchers, healthcare leaders, and technology innovators from the UK and Europe. The event aims to address the complexity of interpreting and integrating multi-omics data by fostering dialogue, sharing best practices, and inspiring cross-sector collaboration among teams from academia, pharma, and biotech, ultimately aiming to accelerate the development of life-saving treatments for patients.

Dalton George is a Program Manager at the Engineering Biology Research Consortium, focusing on Innovation and Society. Prior to EBRC, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar for the School of Biomedical and Health Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, where his research focused on social, ethical, and policy dimensions of emerging biotechnologies. Dalton was also an NSF National Research Traineeship fellow at North Carolina State University, where he conducted interdisciplinary forecasting work on how emerging regulations would impact the future of genetically engineered crops, and researched how novel stakeholder engagement strategies could impact decision-making for environmental applications of engineered organisms.
When the work day is done, Dalton is headed outdoors for some cycling, hiking, disc golf, or any number of other sports. On rainy days, you will find him playing and listening to music, or at the local coffee shop playing chess, backgammon, or his beloved Midwest card game, Euchre.
