Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMitch Syberg-olsen is a PhD candidate at Rice University with eight years of hands-on experience developing synthetic biology technologies that aim to replace resource-intensive industrial processes. He has practical industry experience from Pivot Bio, where he worked on microbial engineering to create biological alternatives to chemical fertilizers, and now focuses on simplifying synthetic DNA production to enable more complex constructs with less waste. Based in Houston, Mitch combines applied research and product-minded experimentation to make biological engineering more sustainable and scalable. He is curious about microbial systems beyond the bench—an attribute reflected in a GitHub bio that simply reads “Trying to figure out what's going on with microbes”—and brings that inquisitiveness to both lab design and translational projects.
