ValleyDAO on Building a Sustainable Future with Synthetic Biology

The DeSci Podcast

Welcome to another episode of the DeSci Podcast. In this episode, we were joined by ValleyDAO's Co-founder, Albert Anis, and Communications Lead, Morgan Richards.

In this video, Albert Anis and Morgan Richards provide a deep dive into the interesting field of Synthetic Biology, and the significant role that ValleyDAO plays in driving innovation in this area.

We also explored the traditional funding model for Synthetic Biology and the difficulties it presents for researchers. They then emphasize the need for a new, decentralized approach to funding and the importance of collaboration in the research field.

Albert and Morgan also go on to discuss the challenges of building in DeSci, and ValleyDAO's unique approach to incubating new projects, which involves providing funding, expertise, and a supportive community for researchers.
