Clever Fruit is pleased to announce that its founder and CEO Sean Sears has joined the inaugural Board of Canada’s Synthetic Biology Association. He will offer his governance knowledge to help the organization through its early period.
Synthetic biology, sometimes referred to as engineered biology, represents a new era of health product development. Clever expects its impact to dramatically alter both the natural product and the pharmaceutical industries. Proven impactful bioavailability is the new mandate. SynBio enables product companies to develop precise powerful solutions targeting the real underlying health issue.
“The internet was a lousy email service until the launch of the Mosiac browser in late 94. When I saw Mosiac, It took me 18 days to resign from my job in big consulting,” recalls Sean Sears, founder and CEO of Clever Fruit Products. He adds, “I have been a long-term investor, supporter, and part-time executive of Clever Fruit. In the summer of 2023, I did a deep dive into Synbio. When I imagined the impact of Clever enabled with SynBio, I sold or closed what I didn’t need and started full-time as Clever’s CEO. I think it took 21 days. Perhaps I am getting slower. Joining this board is both giving back and leaning into learning. These are Canada’s greatest scientists. I am stoked to be a this table.”
From SynBio Canada Website:
Synthetic biology represents a maturation of genetic engineering and biotechnology.
It has the potential to reshape medicine, industry, and agriculture in Canada.
For this to be possible we need to create a strong and open synthetic biology community.
