Carlotta grew up in the Veneto region of Italy, where she graduated with a degree in molecular biology from Padua University. She pursued her PhD at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, where she developed new CRISPR technologies for multiple organisms and filed for one of the earliest CRISPR patents on editing eukaryotic cells. After completing her PhD in synthetic biology in 2015, she moved to Columbia as a Simons Junior Fellow in the Harris Wang lab to develop new genome-engineering tools for modifying intractable human-...Read more
Ravi Sheth is co-founder of Kingdom Supercultures, a company that designs microbial communities to make it easy for food manufacturers to create exciting new products.
Ravi received his PhD from Columbia University in the Department of Systems Biology as part of Harris Wang’s lab. As a graduate student, he worked on developing new techniques to understand and engineer intact microbial ecosystems. His work spanned the synthetic biology (CRISPR-based cellular recording devices) and microbiome fields (technology development for new genomics tools to understand spatiotemporal dynamics...Read more
