MY WORK INVOLVES TECHNOSCIENCE PRACTICE IN ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY.

MISSION

My Mission is to reimagine the innovation work of the 21st century as a craft of soul through empowering humans to innovate from essence and manifest their soul in the work they create.My vision is to transform the guiding principles of innovation from “be first” to “soul first.”

What am I talking about?

Over the past seven years, I extended my reach beyond my research lab, traveled with a media crew around the world, stood behind the camera, and observed and reflected on how scientists create technologies. This experience taught me a few things: The power of technologies such as gene editing and AI requires us to train our next generation to be reflective conscious individuals. As we are entering an era of (bio)technological revolution that will define our humanity and culture in this century, we are required to retain, nurture, and motivate diverse talents who ideate and create a future that we all want to live in, and do so with purpose and care. Lastly, the culture of innovation doesn’t emphasize emotional and spiritual intelligence. My mission is to examine how we can reshape the practices to nurture diversity, promote collective intelligence, and train balanced, healthy entrepreneurs who can create responsible technologies of the 21st century.

SPECIALITIES

  • I spent more than 8 years in academia. I am now a part time associate professor of pathology and bioengineering at University of Pittsburgh and cofounder and CEO of GenexGen, Inc and cofounder with Celine Therapeutics. I have been in the field of Synthetic Biology and Gene editing for over a decade, training with the pioneers of these fields at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

  • I direct Tomorrow Life, an initiative that is dedicated to use art and storytelling to bridge the gap between science and technology and society. Throughout my work with Tomorrow life over the past six years, I have extended my work beyond my research lab and become a self-made anthropologist examining the humans behind innovation.

  • I believe in the power of stories to promote reflection. I have produced “Make People Better” a documentry film that examines the ethical implications of genetic revolution. I also co-produced and cohosted a podcast called “Make people better podcast that examines different dimensions of genomic revolution. Going though the process of making the film and podcast was a transformative experience for me. It opened my eyes to some of the hidden challenges associated with the STEM culture and was a great motivation for me to be where I am today.

  • To those of you who are in the STEM field, If you ever felt that you needed to become some one else to be heard and seen in your work, felt you have been living a misplaced life, if you wondered whether you belonged, I hear you and I see you. You can learn more about my life story here. I am on a mission to transfer the wisdom I learned to you and help you empower to become your true powerful self in

  • I firmly believe that who we are as a person can not be separated from who we are as a professional. Whether you are in industry, academia or have nothing to do with STEM field, I would love to hear from you and accompany you in your journey of self actuation. Please contact me if you are interested to learn more.

  • I’d like to bring new vision to designing spaces of innovation. One that incororates psychosocial impact of environment in human health ( natural and biophilic design) and one that support diversity and promotes collective inner reflection. Contact me to learn more.

They say “when there‘s a will, there’s a way”. If we can’t find the way forward, perhaps deep down there we don’t truly want it. Maybe it’s time to face it and ask ourselves, “why”.
People come to your life to teach you something and when it’s time they leave. That’s part of the cycle of life and a bitter reality we have to accept no matter how hard it is. This particular person Gaymon Bennett touched many lives in b
