SUMMARY:Innovation on Tap: Omid Veiseh\, Rice University
DESCRIPTION:Building an Ecosystem for Biotechnology Innovation at Rice\, Houston\, and Beyond — Starting with the Biotech Launch Pad \nFeatured Speaker: Omid Veiseh\, Ph. D. is the Faculty Director of the Biotech Launchpad and Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University\, where he leads a research program aimed at engineering next-generation treatments for a wide range of human diseases by leveraging the latest techniques in synthetic biology\, immunoengineering\, and materials science to develop innovative cell-based platforms for real-time production of biologics. He is also a serial entrepreneur who has co-founded Sigilon Therapeutics (Nasdaq: SGTX)\, Avenge Bio\, Pana Bio\, and Curada Bio. These companies collectively have attracted ~ $500M in private and public investment capital. \nWe invite attendees to join the featured speaker and event attendees for networking at Second Draught after the talk. \nAbout Innovation on Tap: Disruptive Technology Talks with Houston’s Leading Researchers \nIndustrial innovation is in the DNA of Houston (energy\, health\, space\, and transportation)\, and the Ion is at the forefront of moving the city to become a technology destination\, a central place where we support bold moves that embrace the innovation economy at an industrial scale. The Ion is a place where we accelerate disruption by connecting people and ideas to create a future that will not only change Houston but also change the world. \nIon Innovation on Tap lecture series is focused on bridging world-leading academic research to the broader innovation ecosystem\, creating connections and partnerships that will not only accelerate translation and commercialization but form relationships that will drive future fundamental advances needed to address fundamental problems like decarbonization\, personalized health care\, and create resilient and sustainable livable communities. \nExamples of disruptive technology include but are not limited to AI and machine learning\, robotics\, synthetic biology\, neuro-engineering\, nano-materials\, cyber security\, imaging\, blockchain\, and quantum computing. \nThe lecture series will feature leading researchers spanning engineering\, science\, and design\, showcasing advanced technology and innovation from academic research labs and programs. Largely inaccessible and buried in journals and conference proceedings\, technology will be presented in an accessible TED-style lecture format with ample networking opportunities. The disruptive technology lecture series will serve as a magnifying glass connecting fundamental technology to people and organizations that can benefit and help activate technology through commercialization. More than that\, the lecture series will serve as a front door for collaboration between researchers and industry partners and/or the formation of new technology startups that will help establish Ion and Houston as a global hub for innovation.
