Sarah Richardson

Dr. Richardson specializes in genome design. As a DOE CSGF fellow she designed a synthetic yeast genome; as a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at LBNL she integrated computational and experimental genomics; and as Chief Scientist of MicroByre she builds genomic toolkits for non-model prokaryotes. Trained in both computational and molecular biology, she has a unique perspective on the technologies made possible by “synthetic” biology.
