THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

We are a network of

Dreamers. Scientists. Entrepreneurs.

We are a diverse group of self-motivated cooperators who believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Together we are harnessing the metabolic problem-solving power of the microcosmos to develop more sustainable ways to make a living in the world around us.
